New eye drops could help kids see clearly longer
NCT ID NCT06579287
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new eye drop called SHJ002 to see if it can safely slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children ages 3 to 12. The drop works by targeting a specific molecule in the eye. Researchers will compare it to a standard treatment, atropine, and measure changes in vision and eye length over time.
