Filter by:Studies have shown that atropine eye drops are effective in controlling myopia in children and adolescents. 1% atropine ophthalmic drug has obvious curative effect for controlling myopia, but its side effects such as photophobia and blurred vision limit its popularization and use. In the early stage, our research group used 1% atropine "5+3" myopia control program and 1% atropine alternate eye myopia control program. Retrospective clinical research data showed that it could significantly reduce side effects and improve use compliance, but there is currently no evidence from prospective clinical studies.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two proximity control geometry lens designs to treat eyes with pretreatment myopia between -4.00 and -6.00 D myopia with and without refractive astigmatism in a modality involving overnight wearing.
Myopia is a common disorder, affecting approximately one-third of the US population and over 90% of the population in some East Asian countries. High amounts of myopia are associated with an increased risk of sight-threatening problems, such as retinal detachment, choroidal degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma. Slowing the progression of myopia could potentially benefit millions of children. To date, few strategies used for myopia control have proven to be effective. Currently, there are four categories of myopia control treatments: atropine eye drops, multifocal contact lenses, multifocal eyeglasses, and orthokeratology (ortho-k). None of these modalities are US Food and Drug Administration-approved to slow myopia progression, they have been shown to slow the progression by approximately 50% with few risks. Both orthokeratology and soft bifocal contact lenses have shown to slow myopia progression by slightly less than 50% in most studies. The Myolens progressive front soft contact lens is designed to slow down myopia progression in children, The Myolens lens is an aspheric design with a spherical back surface that provides clear vision, with a uniform round edge for excellent fit and optimum comfort. The Myolens-CN is designed with a central for the near optics, while the Myolens-CF with a central for the distance optics, which progressively changes to far area and within a defined optical zone area while considering the movement up-down of the lens on the cornea. The thought behind the design is that the center of the lens will not provide a full optical correction. In the suggested study, both Myolens modalities CN and CF will be investigated in compare to the current approved treatment - MiSight.
This prospective cohort study enrolled patients with implantation of a trifocal IOL. Only one eye of each patient was enrolled. Eyes were devided into three groups according the axial length (AL), including the short AL group, the control group and the long AL group. Manifest refraction, uncorrected and distance-corrected visual acuity at different distances, contrast sensitivity, aberrations and IOL decentration were measured three months after surgery. Spectacle independence, adverse photic phenomena, overall satisfaction and life quality were assessed with a questionnaire.
Kubota Vision Inc. has developed a spectacle-like prototype device which is designed to be used as a light-based therapy to reduce myopia progression. In this study, we aim to observe the ocular biometric and refractive changes following binocular part-time wear of the clinical prototype device over a course of 12 months and compare that to 12 months of no clinical prototype device use (control).
LASIK is the most commonly performed refractive surgery worldwide. It has been shown to be safe and effective procedure with predictable results over long term follow ups. With the advancement of technology, sub-Bowman keratomileusis allows thin flap of approximately 100 microns thickness thus preserving thicker stromal bed as compared to conventional LASIK. The femtosecond laser corneal flap has th advantage of producing a flap of uniform thickness, adjustable flap diameter, relatively few complications. The disadvantages of this procedure is the high cost of surgery, development of bubbles in the corneal layer and anterior chamber which may affect pupil trackingduring the procedure. Despite the emergence of femtosecond laser-assisted flap creation, mechanical microkeratomes remain the preferred choice in the majority of developing countries. Recent studies have shown that SBK corneal flap has the same advantages as femtosecond laser flap regarding flap uniformity, regularity, and accuracy with less suction time and cost, but with its specific complications as well.
As new orthokeratology fitting software emerges onto the market, it is of interest to assess their usefulness in guiding eye practitioners with lens fit. The goal of this study is to evaluate the comfort of Paragon orthokeratology lenses when they are fit using the new Procornea software.
Atropine is a non-selective muscarinic acetylcholine (M) receptor antagonist that paralyzes the ciliary muscle, dilates the pupil, and reduces the power of accommodation. Current studies have confirmed the effect of low concentrations of atropine drops in slowing the progression of myopia. In the atropine treatment for myopia (ATOM2) study, there was a rapid and dose-dependent decrease in accommodation after atropine drops: after 2 weeks of use, accommodation decreased from baseline 16.2D to 11.3D (4.9D) in the 0.01% atropine drops group, from baseline 16.7D to 3.8D (12.9D) in the 0.1% atropine group, and from baseline 15.8 D to 2.2 D (13.6 D) in the 0.5% atropine group; one year after withdrawal, there was some recovery of the accommodation in all the three groups, but it was still lower than the baseline values for each group, with a mean decrease of 2.56 D.Similar results were found in the Low-concentration Atropine for Myopia Progression (LAMP) Study by Janson C. Yam, 0.05% atropine drops reduced the accommodation by approximately 2D on average after 1 year of treatment. In general, if accommodation decreases by 2D or more compared to normal values, accommodation insufficiency is considered. There is a linkage between accommodation and convergence called accommodative convergence-to-accommodation (AC/A) which is closely related to exotropia. It was reported that the amount of accommodation required to maintain binocular fusion in patients with intermittent exotropia was greater than that of normal controls. In addition, pupil size and visual acuity are also factors that affect accommodation. In summary, the reduced accommodation amplitude, pupil dilation, and blurred near vision caused by atropine drops would affect the progression of intermittent exotropia and the ocular alignment after the surgery. In most cases, the reduced accommodation and convergence might induce exotropia, but in some patients, they may use more accommodative stimuli to compensate the insufficiency of accommodation, and there may be an increase in convergence or even esotropia. Taken together, due to the effect of atropine drops on pupil size, near visual acuity, and accommodation amplitude, the investigators hypothesize that atropine drops are likely to affect binocular vision and ocular alignment in patients with exotropia and exophoria.
The proposed study below aims to assess the effect of customized Bestivue PDL lenses on retinal image quality and myopia control. A total of 160 subjected would be enrolled in and randomized to allcoate into four groups. Visual acuity and image blur at various gaze directions and eccentricities on children fitted with +2 to 4 D power and single vision lenses would be measured to assess the short term effect of PDL lens. Axial length and cycloplegic objective refractive error would be measured to assess the Myopia-control Efficacy.
