NCT ID NCT07095894
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study tests two treatments to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 5 to 12. One treatment uses special glasses with tiny lenslets, and the other uses low-dose atropine eye drops. Over 24 months, researchers will measure changes in eye length and prescription strength. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to keep kids' vision from getting worse quickly.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
0.05% atropine eyedrops and spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safe, effective way to slow worsening nearsightedness in children, reducing their risk of severe eye problems later in life.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but previous results in non-Asian children have been inconsistent. The treatments may not work as well in this group, and atropine drops can cause side effects like light sensitivity or blurry near vision.
