RESUMO

PURPOSE: Spectacle lenses with peripheral lenslets have shown promise for myopia control by providing peripheral myopic defocus signals. Here, we aimed to investigate the impact of prolonged exposure (>6 months) to peripheral myopic defocus on visual information processing in myopic children. METHODS: The study included 30 myopic children who habitually wore spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL group) and 34 children who habitually wore single-vision (SV group) spectacles. The quick contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) was used to measure contrast sensitivity (CS) under conditions of no or high noise. Both groups were tested with HAL and SV lenses. The perceptual template model was utilised to fit the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) and determine differences in information processing efficiency through internal additive noise ( N add ) and perceptual template gain (ß). RESULTS: The areas under the log CSF in the SV group were significantly higher than for the HAL group in both zero-noise conditions with the SV test lens (p = 0.03) and high-noise conditions with the HAL test lens (p = 0.02). For 2 cycle per degree (cpd) stimuli, ß was significantly higher in the SV group with the HAL test lens than in the HAL group (p = 0.02), while there was a trend towards a significant difference in ß for 6 cpd stimuli (p = 0.07). However, there were no significant differences in N add between the two groups, with or without noise interference. CONCLUSION: The reduced CS observed in myopic children wearing HAL lenses for 6 months or more may be due to decreased ß. This suggests that prolonged use of spectacle lenses with peripheral myopic defocus signals may compromise the central visual system's ability to process additional external noise, resulting in decreased efficiency in visual information processing.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term effects of peripheral gradient high-addition multifocal soft contact lenses (MFSCLs) and orthokeratology (Ortho-K lenses) on visual performance in myopic children. METHODS: Thirty myopic children participated in this prospective study. Each participant wore different sets of lenses in the following sequence: single-vision spectacles (SVSPs) as a control, MFSCLs and Ortho-K lenses. Ocular aberrations, topography, high-contrast visual acuity (HCVA), low-contrast visual acuity (LCVA) and accommodation of the right eye were measured with each type of correction on a different day. RESULTS: Compared with SVSPs, high-addition MFSCLs and Ortho-K lenses significantly increased all items of aberrations (all p < 0.05) except trefoil (p = 0.17). MFSCLs induced less coma, root mean square of the third-order aberration (RMS3) and higher order aberrations than Ortho-K lenses (all p < 0.05). No significant difference in HCVA was found across the three correction types (F = 1.19, p = 0.39). In terms of LCVA, MFSCLs performed significantly poorer than SVSPs (difference, 0.16 logMAR; p = 0.001) and slightly worse than Ortho-K lenses (difference, 0.08 logMAR; p = 0.35). No significant difference in decentration was found between the two types of contact lenses, and no associations were observed between decentration and visual acuity at both high- and low-contrast levels (all p > 0.05). For MFSCLs, decentration was positively related to coma (r = 0.43, p = 0.02) and RMS3 (r = 0.44, p = 0.02), which was not the case for Ortho-K lenses. Accommodative facility was worse with MFSCLs than Ortho-K lenses (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: Multifocal soft contact lenses differed from Ortho-K lenses in aberration profile and LCVA, although decentration was similar. Decentration <1 mm had minimal influence on both HCVA and LCVA for either type of correction, but significantly increased third-order aberrations for MFSCLs, but not Ortho-K lenses.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To investigate whether the treatment zone (TZ) decentration in orthokeratology (OK) lenses affects retinal expansion in Chinese children with myopia. METHODS: Children aged 8 to 13 years (n = 30) were assessed over 13 months comprising 12 months of OK lens wear followed by discontinuation of lens wear for 1 month. Corneal topography was measured at 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 13 months. TZ decentration of the OK lens was calculated, and subjects were subdivided into a small decentration group (group S) and a large decentration group (group L) based on the median value of the weighted average decentration (dave ). Central axial length (AL) and peripheral eye lengths (PELs) at the central retina, as well as 10°, 20° and 30° nasally and temporally were measured at 0 and 13 months under cycloplegia. Second-order polynomial (y = ax2 + bx + c) and linear fits (y = Kx + B) were applied to the peripheral relative eye length (PREL), and the coefficients 'a' and 'K' were used to describe the shape of the eye. RESULTS: Mean AL growth for one year was 0.28 ± 0.17 mm. In a multiple linear regression model, AL elongation was related to the baseline age (ß = -0.41, p = 0.01) and the dave (ß = -0.37, p = 0.03) (R2  = 0.34, p = 0.002). When compared with smaller dave (0.45 ± 0.15 mm), a larger dave (0.89 ± 0.17 mm) was associated with slower ocular growth (central: 0.20 ± 0.13 mm vs. 0.35 ± 0.17 mm, p = 0.009; 10° nasal: 0.26 ± 0.18 mm vs. 0.45 ± 0.21 mm, p = 0.02; 10° temporal: 0.17 ± 0.14 mm vs. 0.32 ± 0.19 mm, p = 0.02) and more oblate retina shape ('a': -0.13 ± 0.02 vs. -0.14 ± 0.02, p = 0.02; Knasal : 0.35 ± 0.11 vs. 0.39 ± 0.09, p = 0.02; Ktemporal : -0.42 ± 0.08 vs. -0.46 ± 0.08, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Greater TZ decentration with the use of OK lenses was associated with slower axial growth and a more oblate retinal shape. TZ decentration caused local defocusing changes, which may inhibit myopic progression. These findings may have important implications for improving optical designs for myopia control.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare peripheral defocus, higher-order aberrations (HOAs), and contrast visual acuity (CVA) in myopic children wearing orthokeratology (OK) lenses and multifocal soft contact lenses (MSCLs) designed with highly addition. METHODS: This is a prospective, nonrandomized, controlled study. Subjects at 8 to 13 years of age with spherical equivalent refraction from - 1.00 to - 5.00 dioptres (D) were included in the OK group (n = 30) and MSCL group (n = 23). Relative peripheral corneal defocus (RPCD) and relative peripheral refraction (RPR) were measured before and after wearing lenses. HOAs including spherical aberration (SA), coma, trefoil, and total HOAs, and high (100%) and low (10%) CVA were compared between the groups. Axial length (AL) was measured before and after wearing the lenses for 1 year. RESULTS: After wearing the lenses, subjects in the MSCL group had RPCD and RPR values similar to the OK group at the paracentral (within 2 mm of the cornea or 20° of the retina, all p > 0.05) but larger than the OK group at the periphery (all p < 0.05). All HOAs increased after wearing the lenses except the trefoil in the MSCL group (all p < 0.05). HOAs increased more in the OK group (all p < 0.05). The 100% and 10% CVAs were worse in the MSCL group (p = 0.02 and p = 0.004). After 1 year, AL elongation was 0.37 mm (SD = 0.16) in the MSCL group and 0.28 mm (0.16) in the OK group (p = 0.06). CONCLUSION: MSCL produced larger myopic defocus at the periphery, increased less HOAs and had worse CVA than OK lens. The high addition of this MSCL did not result in better myopia control efficacy TRIAL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR1800018564.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of orthokeratology (OK) on accommodative function and aberrations, to explore the correlations between them and determine what role they play in myopia control. METHODS: In this prospective case-controlled study, 61 children were divided into an OK (n = 30) and a single-vision spectacles (SVS) (n = 31) group. Accommodation and ocular wavefront aberrations in the OK group were measured at baseline and after 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of OK wear, and again at 1 month after stopping OK (13th month). The same procedure was performed in the SVS group at baseline and at 3, 6 and 12 months. Axial length (AL), accommodative lag area and aberrations including spherical aberration (SA), coma and total higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were analysed. RESULTS: During OK wear, the accommodative lag area at each visit was lower than the baseline level (all p < 0.01); all aberrations at each visit were higher than pre-treatment (all p < 0.001). After 1 month of OK treatment, changes in accommodative lag area and SA did not show significant correlation (p = 0.16), but after OK cessation these changes were correlated (p = 0.01). In the OK group, multivariate regression analysis showed changes in accommodative lag area were associated with AL progression in the first 6 months but not in the 1-year analysis. For the SVS group, there were no significant changes in the accommodative lag area or any aberrations during the study period. CONCLUSIONS: Increased HOAs and improved accommodative accuracy were observed during OK treatment, but began to regress after the cessation of OK. A significant positive correlation between improved accommodative accuracy and slowed axial elongation was only observed during the first 6 months of treatment.

RESUMO

AIMS: To evaluate the 1-year efficacy of two new myopia control spectacle lenses with lenslets of different asphericity. METHODS: One hundred seventy schoolchildren aged 8-13 years with myopia of -0.75 D to -4.75 D were randomised to receive spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL), spectacle lenses with slightly aspherical lenslets (SAL), or single-vision spectacle lenses (SVL). Cycloplegic autorefraction (spherical equivalent refraction (SER)), axial length (AL) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were measured at baseline and 6-month intervals. Adaptation and compliance questionnaires were administered during all visits. RESULTS: After 1 year, the mean changes in the SER (±SE) and AL (±SE) in the SVL group were -0.81±0.06 D and 0.36±0.02 mm. Compared with SVL, the myopia control efficacy measured using SER was 67% (difference of 0.53 D) for HAL and 41% (difference of 0.33 D) for SAL, and the efficacy measured using AL was 64% (difference of 0.23 mm) for HAL and 31% (difference of 0.11 mm) for SAL (all p<0.01). HAL resulted in significantly greater myopia control than SAL for SER (difference of 0.21 D, p<0.001) and AL (difference of 0.12 mm, p<0.001). The mean BCVA (-0.01±0.1 logMAR, p=0.22) and mean daily wearing time (13.2±2.6 hours, p=0.26) were similar among the three groups. All groups adapted to their lenses with no reported adverse events, complaints or discomfort. CONCLUSIONS: Spectacle lenses with aspherical lenslets effectively slow myopia progression and axial elongation compared with SVL. Myopia control efficacy increased with lenslet asphericity.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This prospective study assessed the influence of wearing and then discontinuing orthokeratology (OK) lenses on retinal shape and peripheral refraction in myopic children. METHODS: Fifty-eight myopic children (age 8-12 years) were equally divided into an OK group and a single vision spectacles (SVS) group. After 12 months of OK, it was discontinued for 1 month. Peripheral eye length (PEL), relative peripheral refraction (RPR), and corneal parameters were measured in the right eye on the nasal and temporal retinal sides at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months (13 months in OK group) visits. RESULTS: In the SVS group, faster elongation of the temporal side PEL made the eyes more asymmetric and prolate, developing a temporal pointed shape. In the OK group, the nasal retinal side PEL grew faster, the nasal RPR developed less hyperopic defocus, and the eye shape became more symmetric and less prolate. The central cornea became thinner and flattened, while the peripheral cornea became steeper. Changes in corneal thickness, relative peripheral corneal power, and K-values were no significant differences for the OK and SVS groups at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: The cornea reverted to be no difference with myopic children with SVS after 1 month discontinuation of OK. The retinal shape of SVS eyes became more asymmetric and prolate with myopia progression. OK remodelled retinal shape to be less asymmetric and less prolate.

RESUMO

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate short-term visual performance and optical quality of three different lenslet configurations on myopia control spectacle lenses. Materials and Methods: This study utilized a cross-over design. Distance visual acuity (VA) was measured in 50 myopic children; contrast sensitivity (CS) was measured in 36 myopic children. For each test, four spectacle lenses were evaluated in a random order: single-vision lens (SVL), lens with concentric rings of highly aspherical lenslets (HAL), lens with concentric rings of slightly aspherical lenslets (SAL), and lens with honeycomb configuration of spherical lenslets (HC). The modulation transfer function (MTF) and MTF area (MTFa) were used to determine optical quality. All tests were performed monocularly on the right eye with full correction. Results: HAL and SAL had larger MTFa than HC. VA in lenses with lenslets was significantly reduced compared to SVL (all p < 0.01). The reduction in VA was worse with HC than with SAL (p = 0.02) and HAL (p = 0.03); no effect of lenslet asphericity was found (p > 0.05). VA changes induced by lenslets showed no correlation with spherical equivalent refraction (all p > 0.05) and were weakly positively associated with age for SAL (r = 0.36, p = 0.01) and HC (r = 0.31, p = 0.03), but not for HAL (p = 0.30). The area under the log contrast sensitivity function (AULCSF) decreased with HAL and HC (all p < 0.001) in all illumination levels, and AULCSF with HAL was higher than that with HC in a photopic condition (1.17 ± 0.10 vs. 1.10 ± 0.13, p = 0.0004). The presence of lenslets did not affect CS at 3 cycles per degree (cpd) (p = 0.80). At 6 to 18 cpd, CS was significantly reduced by HAL and HC (all p < 0.05), but not SAL (p > 0.05) compared to SVL. At high spatial frequencies (>12 cpd) both SAL and HAL reduced CS significantly less than HC (all p < 0.01). Conclusion: Short-term visual performance was minimally impaired by looking through the lenslet structure of myopia control spectacle lenses. Concentric rings with aspherical lenslets had a significantly lower impact on both VA and CS than honeycomb configuration with spherical lenslets.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim was to compare the repeatability of subjective accommodative amplitude (AA) measurements obtained using the modified push-up and minus-lens methods and determine the agreement with objective AA by an autorefractor. METHODS: The right eyes of 47 adults aged 22-30 years (mean 25.1 ± 1.9) were measured by subjective AA using the modified push-up and minus-lens methods. Subjective AAs with first sustained blur and unreadable criteria were obtained with an average of three consecutive measurements. Measurements of the objective AA were simulated by the minus lens using an open-field autorefractor. The repeatability of two subjective AA methods and the agreement among the different methods was assessed. RESULTS: The AA value was dependent on the measuring method (F = 139.68, p < 0.001). The AA of the minus-lens method with first sustained blur criterion (10.10 ± 1.71 D) was closest to the objective AA (9.01 ± 1.49 D). The minus-lens method with unreadable criterion had the best repeatability. The agreement between the minus-lens method and the objective methods was better than that between the modified push-up and the objective methods based on the difference and 95 per cent limits of agreement. The agreement was highest between the minus-lens method with the first sustained blur criterion and the objective method, which had the lowest average difference and a narrow 95 per cent limits of agreement. CONCLUSIONS: The subjective minus-lens method was more accurate for assessing the subjective AA in adults than the modified push-up method. The minus-lens method with the first sustained blur criterion was the optimal method for subjective AA. The minus-lens method with unreadable criterion can also be applied to clinical measurements, although it was approximately 0.95 D larger than the minus-lens method with the first sustained blur criterion.
