Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of 0.01% atropine on ocular axial elongation in myopic children. The meta-analysis found that the combination of orthokeratology and 0.01% atropine can effectively control myopia progression, providing helpful evidence for its effectiveness.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term myopia control effect and safety in children wearing Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) spectacle lenses. The results showed that children wearing DIMS lenses had better control of axial elongation and myopia progression compared to those wearing single vision (SV) lenses over a 6-year period, and there was no evidence of rebound after stopping the treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the effects of toric orthokeratology (TOK) and soft toric multifocal (STM) contact lenses on peripheral refraction in patients with astigmatism and myopia. The results showed that TOK induced greater myopic shift and astigmatism compared to STM, which may impact the efficacy of myopia management.

Summary: This study investigated the reasons for wasting orthokeratology lenses due to breakage or loss. It found that caregiver behavior, care practices, and unexpected situations were the main causes. Better clinical guidance and more frequent reminders could prevent a large proportion of abnormal waste of orthokeratology lenses.

Summary: Unilateral orthokeratology lenses effectively reduced axial elongation in the more myopic eyes and reduced interocular AL differences in children with myopic anisometropia. The refractive state of the untreated eyes did not affect the axial elongation of the more myopic eye wearing the orthokeratology lens. In the untreated eyes, AL increased faster in the low myopia subgroup than in the emmetropia subgroup.

Summary: This study found that multifocal contact lenses provide functional vision performance comparable to progressive addition lenses (PAL) spectacles, and patients may prefer using multifocal contact lenses.

Summary: This meta-analysis demonstrates that 0.01% atropine combined with orthokeratology is effective in slowing axial elongation in myopic children, with statistical significance. Subgroup analysis also supports this finding, showing that the combined treatment results in significantly less axial elongation compared to orthokeratology alone. No evidence of publication bias was found.

Summary: The study found that the spatial distribution of the relative corneal refractive power shift plays a significant role in myopia control. Corneal reshaping induced less axial length elongation compared to multifocal soft contact lenses, indicating that contact lenses inducing RCRPS closer to the corneal center may have a better effect on myopia control.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between peripheral defocus, pupil size, and different types of contact lenses on axial growth in children. The results showed that the lens type had a greater impact on eye growth than peripheral defocus, and pupil size had no significant effect. These findings are important for guiding the use of contact lenses in children.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of multifocal contact lens (MFCL) combined with 0.01% atropine (AT) eye drops in controlling myopia. A total of 240 myopic children aged 6 to 12 years will be randomly assigned to four groups and receive different treatments for one year. The primary outcomes are the comparison of axial elongation and myopia progression among the four groups.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between baseline axial length (AL) and axial elongation in myopes undergoing orthokeratology (ortho-k). The results showed a negative association between axial elongation and baseline AL in the ortho-k group. Furthermore, children aged 8-11 years with longer baseline AL demonstrated slower annual axial elongation during the first 2 years of ortho-k treatment.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of atropine, Ortho-K, and combined atropine with Ortho-K for childhood myopia through a network meta-analysis. The results showed that different dosages of atropine and combined treatment could effectively slow down myopic progression, and the efficacy of atropine was dose-related. Additionally, Ortho-K and low-dose atropine had similar efficacy, and the combination of 0.01% atropine with Ortho-K had comparable efficacy to high-dose atropine.

Summary: Different BOZD OK lenses, DISC lenses, and SCL lenses have certain effects in retarding axial elongation in 8-11-year-old myopes. 5.0 mm-BOZD OK lenses and DISC lenses have better control efficacy for low myopic eyes compared to single-vision SCLs or 6.2 mm-BOZD OK lenses.
