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.

Who should consider this trial

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.

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.

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 performed: 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.
