Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are treatment-naïve children aged 6–12 with myopia between −0.5 D and −5.0 D, anisometropia ≤1.5 D, corneal astigmatism ≤1.5 D, and good best-corrected visual acuity.
✕Probably not a fit
Children already using myopia-control treatments, those with other diagnosed ocular or systemic conditions, irregular or high astigmatism, or contraindications to cycloplegia are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Children who meet the eligibility criteria will be assigned to wear either Rodenstock myopia-control spectacle lenses or standard single-vision lenses and followed for 24 months. Regular eye examinations, including cycloplegic refraction and axial length measurements, will track changes in prescription and eye growth. The trial enrolls treatment-naïve myopic children with spherical equivalent between −0.5 D and −5.0 D and limits astigmatism and anisometropia to specified ranges. Safety, tolerability, and change in myopia progression will be compared between the lens groups.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, these lenses could slow myopia progression in school-age children and lower the long-term risk of high-myopia complications.
How similar studies have gone: Other optical approaches such as multifocal contact lenses, orthokeratology, and some specially designed spectacle lenses have shown moderate success in slowing myopia, although results vary by design and population.
