Purpose This study aimed to examine the effect of Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) lenses on myopia progression and axial elongation in a clinical population. Methods A retrospective was conducted using data from 489 156 patients aged 3 17 years old who were prescribed DIMS single vision (SV) lenses, respectively at Optometry Clinic The Hong Kong Polytechnic University between July 2018 August 2019. included with previous control interventions. changes spherical equivalent refraction (SER) length (AL) measured normalized annual changes. correlation age baseline change AL also examined.

To evaluate myopia control efficacy in myopic children wearing spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) for 5 years. This is a randomized, double-masked extended trial. Myopic aged 8 to 13 years who were originally allocated the HAL group 2-year clinical The underwent 5-year assessment progression using cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and axial length (AL). An extrapolated single-vision (ESVL) was used as group. elongation of ESVL calculated based on data from same trial, following 3 estimated by assuming an annual reduction SER 9.7% AL 15%.

SIGNIFICANCE These findings suggest that repeated low-level red-light therapy holds potential as a new method for managing myopia in children. PURPOSE This study aimed to compare and analyze the efficacy of orthokeratology lenses control METHODS Exactly 138 participants were enrolled this retrospective study. Comprehensive eye examinations performed prior treatment. The groups comprised 67 71 patients, respectively. age range was between 6 14 years, with ≤−0.50 D astigmatism ≤2.50 after cycloplegia. Follow-up data collected during initial visit treatment period. Changes axial length over 2-year period associated factors analyzed. RESULTS Over period, group exhibited significantly less growth compared (0.17 ± 0.40 vs. 0.50 0.27 mm, p<0.001). In first year, than (0.03 0.22 0.28 0.18 p<0.001), no significant difference observed second year (0.14 0.29 0.21 0.14 p=0.06). showed 55% reduction 1 month 42% 4% 3% reductions group, Linear mixed-effects model analysis indicated annual change rate 0.10 mm (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.07 0.14), 0.25 CI, 0.24 0.27), an average 0.15 −0.17 −0.12, CONCLUSIONS Repeated demonstrated slightly superior controlling progression children lenses.
