This project intends to provide important, previously unmet answers regarding biological associations with myopia (nearsightedness) progression in order to improve the ability to predict patients who are most likely to benefit from myopia control, as well as questions frequently posed by patients and practitioners about the side effects, mechanism, and discontinuation of soft bifocal contact lens myopia control. The first three aims examine the association between biological variables that can be measured non-invasively and myopia progression, and they will be conducted regardless of the outcome of the currently in progress BLINK Study. The last three specific aims will be conducted if soft bifocal contact lenses slowed myopia progression by 30% or more in the BLINK Study, and they can be investigated with very few additional measurements.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study changes in eye shape of nearsighted young adults using low-dose atropine eye drops or soft multifocal contact lenses. The main questions it aims to answer are: * do low-dose atropine and soft multifocal contact lenses affect the shape of the peripheral eye? * are changes in peripheral eye shape from these interventions influenced by changes in the focusing system of the eye? Participants will: * have multiple different types of photos taken * have their prescription for glasses/contacts checked * have their eye health checked, including the use of dilating eye drops * be randomly assigned to use eye drops every night or wear special contact lenses daily instead of their typical contacts * will complete five study visits over the course of 12 months Researchers will compare young adults using low-dose atropine to those wearing soft multifocal contact lenses and to those using no intervention to see if using these interventions affects retinal shape.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if daily brief periods of specialized soft contact lens wear work to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. Additionally, the study will learn about the compliance and safety of specialized soft contact lens wear in children. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does wearing specialized soft contact lenses daily slow myopia progression and axial elongation? What visual/ocular problems do participants have when wearing specialized soft contact lenses? Researchers will compare two soft contact lenses to see if specialized soft contact lens wear works to treat childhood myopia progression. Participants will 1. Wear either a single type of soft contact lens or two types of soft contact lenses at alternate times daily full time in both eyes for one year. 2. Visit the clinic at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months for checkups and tests 3. Keep a diary of the lens-wearing times.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the retinal vascular changes that occur in response to the optical effect of a myopic defocus daily disposable soft contact lens (MDSL) in a group of healthy young myopic adults (18-35 years; myopia -1.00D to -4.00D; all genders). It will also learn about the acceptance of this visual correction modality compared to regular contact lenses. The main questions to be answered are: * To evaluate changes in retinal blood flow by visualizing retinal vascular density in the superficial and deep plexus after one week of MDSL wear. * To evaluate changes in choroidal thickness at the macular level after one week of MDSL wear. * To evaluate the visual comfort provided by this MDSL design using a questionnaire. Researchers will compare the MDSL to a daily disposable single vision soft lens (SVSL) used to correct myopia to determine if the addition of a defocus area makes a difference in the retinal response to the visual signal. Participants will be required to * Wear both MDSL and SVSL for one week each, in a random order. * Read letters to measure visual acuity * Have a deep scan of their retina with an optical coherence tomography (OCT) device * Rate the comfort and vision provided by both devices using a questionnaire.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Nearsightedness clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Nearsightedness clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Nearsightedness trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Nearsightedness is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Nearsightedness medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Nearsightedness clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Delefilcon A Contact Lenses for Refractive Errors, Specialized Contact Lenses for Nearsightedness and Contact Lenses for Astigmatism to the Power online platform.
