DG1 Spectacle Lens for Myopia Progression Control in Children
Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the DG1 spectacle lens for myopia progression control in children. * To assess if the DG1 lens will slow the progression of myopia through an adjusted mean difference (e.g., age and baseline SER) of approximately 0.75D in cycloplegic spherical equivalent autorefraction refractive error compared to single-vision (SV) spectacles over the study period. * To assess if DG1 lens will slow the progression of myopia through an adjusted mean difference (e.g., age and baseline SER) of approximately 0.3mm in axial elongation compared to SV over the study period. The clinical trial will compare DG1 spectacle lens to single vision spectacle lens. Participants will wear spectacle lenses and return for visits at regularly scheduled intervals through a 36-month follow up visit. All subjects who complete the 36-month visit will continue in the study for an additional 12 months for the rebound evaluation.

Multicenter Evaluation of Near Vision and Outdoor Time in Kids Study
Description

Currently, optical and pharmacological interventions have been developed to prevent the progression of childhood myopia. However, no myopia control strategy has been shown to have complete efficacy in controlling myopia progression in children. One possible reason is that risk factors contributing to the development of myopia were not controlled in previous clinical studies including time outdoors and near vision behaviour. This study aims to quantify time spent outdoors and near vision behavior in myopic children and its impact on myopia control efficacy. The outcomes of this study will guide clinicians on risk management and improve responses to existing treatments for progressive myopia.

Efficacy of Repeated Low-level Red-light Therapy in Myopia Control
Description

Low-level red-light technology provides a new and innovative myopia control approach. This strategy enables relatively high energies of light to be delivered at much shorter durations of exposure to induce the myopia control effect. The efficacy of the low-level red-light technology has been proven in a Chinese population. This trial demonstrated that 3-minutes per session twice a day repeated low-level red-light treatment controlled 87.7% of refraction progression and 76.8% of axial length elongation when the time of compliance to the treatment was 75%. Repeating this RCT in culturally diverse groups will confirm and translate this technology into a solution for myopia control globally.

Assessment of Accommodation Behavior in Children Under Myopia Control Treatment (Pilot Study)
Description

This study will examine the accommodative behavior in children undergoing myopia control treatments. A subset of children showing reduced accommodation, known to occur in while wearing multifocal soft contact lenses (MFCL) from previous studies, will undergo auditory biofeedback training to improve the accommodative response and possibly improve treatment efficacy. The results of this study will be used to design a larger clinical trial. Aim 1 - The accommodation response in myopic children being treated with MFCL for six months or longer, will be determined. The accommodative response data will be collected while the patients are wearing the MFCL and will be compared to the baseline control response when the subjects wear single vision soft contact lenses (SVCL). Additional comparisons will include accommodative measures in untreated myopic children wearing spectacle corrections (unttreated controls), children being treated with ortho-keratology contact lenses, and children treated with low-dose atropine (0.01%, considered not to affect accommodation). How these additional myopia treatments affect the accommodation response has yet to be determined. Aim 2 - Children treated with MFCL who show reduced accommodative responses will undergo a brief period of auditory biofeedback accommodative training to determine whether the response in children can be improved and how long it can be sustained. Improving the accommodative response in these patients may improve the treatment efficacy by increasing the effect of the positive power addition built into the lenses.

Examination of Myopia Progression and Soft Bifocal Contact Lens Myopia Control
Description

This project intends to provide important, previously unmet answers regarding biological associations with myopia (nearsightedness) progression in order to improve the ability to predict patients who are most likely to benefit from myopia control, as well as questions frequently posed by patients and practitioners about the side effects, mechanism, and discontinuation of soft bifocal contact lens myopia control. The first three aims examine the association between biological variables that can be measured non-invasively and myopia progression, and they will be conducted regardless of the outcome of the currently in progress BLINK Study. The last three specific aims will be conducted if soft bifocal contact lenses slowed myopia progression by 30% or more in the BLINK Study, and they can be investigated with very few additional measurements.

The Safety and Efficacy of SYD-101 in Children With Myopia
Description

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is the most common eye disorder, often affecting more than 40% of adults in Europe, Asia and the USA. Severe myopia is associated with an increased risk of developing other eye conditions such as glucoma, cataracts and retinal detachment, which may lead to blindness. Early treatment of myopia in children could help slow the condition and minimize the risk of complications later in life. This study investigates the use of SYD-101, an eye solution, in slowing-down the progression of myopia in children.

Can Distance Center and Near Center Multifocal Contact Lenses Control Myopia Progression in Children?
Description

Myopia has been increasing in prevalence and severity throughout the world over the last 30 years. Increasing levels of myopia are associated with increased frequency and severity of various ocular pathologies. Slowing myopia progression may help to reduce the future risks of these ocular pathologies. Conventional spectacles and contact lenses correct myopia by moving the central focus of the eye from in front of the retina to on the retina centrally. To varying degrees, these lenses allow the light to focus behind the retina, at varying peripheral retinal locations. These findings have led to efforts to design spectacle and contact lenses which correct peripheral hyperopic defocus, to reduce myopia progression. The consensus theory for how both multifocal contact lenses (MFCLs) and orthokeratology can control myopia progression is that they reduce, eliminate, or reverse relative peripheral hyperopic defocus. Existing published studies on the use of multifocal contact lenses to control myopia in humans have utilized lenses with the distance correction in the center with peripheral plus power to correct the peripheral blur. It is possible that one of the mechanisms responsible for myopia progression control with MFCLs is that when the eye is exposed to an image focused on the retina and simultaneously an image anterior to the retina, that this will suppress axial elongation and myopia progression. This mechanism would not be dependent on whether the anterior image is located in the central area of the retina or the peripheral area of the retina. While there are no published human studies demonstrating the effectiveness of near center MFCLs, this author has presented retrospective data showing no differences in myopia progression between near center and distance center MFCLs. Synergeyes, Inc.'s Duette contact lenses are hybrids of rigid gas permeable (RGP) with a silicon hydrogel peripheral portion or "skirt." They now make their MFCLs in both distance center (DC) and near center (NC) designs. This study will analyze the myopia progression of children after being randomly assigned to wear Duette MFCLs or Duette standard single vision contact lenses over a span of two years. Subjects assigned to the MFCL group will wear a DC lens on one eye and a NC lens on the other and will reverse this lens assignment every six months. Refractive changes will be measured by cycloplegic autorefraction and axial lengths will be measured with a laser interference biometer (Zeiss IOLMaster) at six-month intervals.

Effectiveness of Orthokeratology in Myopia Control
Description

The high prevalence of myopia - especially in Asian countries - is well documented, as are the sight-threatening complications of high or degenerative myopia. Retinal detachment, glaucoma, vitreal degeneration and focal retinal changes may occur secondary to the progressive axial elongation of the eye with age. Specialty rigid lenses have long been shown to lessen this progression in the pediatric population; orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses are worn at night and change the corneal topography to correct low to moderate amounts of myopia. Most of the studies on orthokeratology were conducted on Asian children. To the best of the investigators knowledge, no study has been done on African American (AA) children. The investigators' project seeks to investigate the efficacy of ortho-k in slowing axial elongation and myopic progression in AA children compared to that in other races.
