New glasses film aims to stop nearsightedness before it starts
NCT ID NCT07401511
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a special optical film called S.T.O.P®KIT that attaches to eyeglasses. The goal is to slow down the growth of the eye in children aged 6 to 10 with mild farsightedness, which may help prevent nearsightedness later. 180 children will be split into two groups: one gets the special glasses, the other gets regular check-ups. The study will measure changes in eye length and vision over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Dynamic Spatiotemporal Optical Film (S.T.O.P®KIT) attached to eyeglasses
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, non-invasive way to prevent nearsightedness in children with mild farsightedness.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 180 children, and it's not yet recruiting. The effect may be small or not work at all, and results may not apply to all children.
