Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 6-10 with near-sightedness, having a specific range of short-sighted prescription (-0.75 to -4.50 D). They must not have more than a 1.50 D difference between their eyes and be willing to participate for 3 years without wearing contact lenses.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests new spectacle lens designs meant to slow down the worsening of near-sightedness in kids. It's a masked, three-group comparison lasting for three years where neither participants nor observers know who gets which type of glasses.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves wearing special glasses, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort with fit or vision changes as the child adapts to the new lens design.
