Summary: The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of baseline relative peripheral refraction (RPR) on myopia control effects in Chinese myopic children wearing Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) lenses. The results showed that baseline myopic RPR was associated with more myopic progression and greater axial elongation in the DIMS group, but not in the single vision (SV) group. Children with baseline myopic RPR in the DIMS group had statistically significant more myopia progression and axial elongation compared to those with baseline hyperopic RPR.

Summary: The objective of this study was to observe the changes in peripheral refraction in myopic adolescents after overnight orthokeratology and its influencing factors. The results showed that after wearing orthokeratology lenses, the relative peripheral refraction in myopic patients changed from relative hyperopia to relative myopia, and the nasal-temporal asymmetry also changed significantly. This change was correlated with the baseline refractive state.

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 aimed to investigate changes in peripheral and relative peripheral refraction during orthokeratology lens use in children. Results showed that orthokeratology lens wear induced significant myopic relative peripheral refraction, but only changed peripheral refraction in two eccentric measuring points. Furthermore, baseline peripheral refraction, on-axis refraction, and relative peripheral refraction at 30 degrees nasal eccentricity were correlated with treatment efficacy.

Summary: This study measured the refraction patterns of myopic eyes with spectacle lenses correction and lens-free emmetropes at different target distances. It was found that accommodation to very near targets (up to 0.20 m) makes the off-axis refraction of myopes wearing their spectacle correction similar to that of lens-free emmetropes, with a significant reduction in off-axis astigmatism observed.

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 aimed to investigate the impact of switching from single vision (SV) lenses to Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) lenses on relative peripheral refraction (RPR) in children with myopia, as well as the changes in RPR in children who wore DIMS lenses for 3 years. The results showed symmetrical changes in RPR in children switching to DIMS lenses and a stable RPR profile in children wearing DIMS lenses for 3 years. Myopia control and RPR changes were influenced by the use of myopic defocus in the mid-periphery, leading to a retardation in myopia progression.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different types of soft contact lenses on peripheral refraction, higher-order aberrations, horizontal coma, and visual quality in young myopic adults. The results showed that the SoftOK and MiSight lenses performed better in terms of relative peripheral refraction, myopic defocus, and horizontal coma. The MiSight lens slightly reduced accommodative amplitude, and the SoftOK lens had significantly higher spherical aberration compared to the other lenses. However, the differences in horizontal coma were not statistically significant.

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: Peripheral refraction plays a role in the development of myopia. This study compared relative peripheral refraction (RPR) in uncorrected and corrected eyes using two different soft contact lenses (CL) designed for myopia control. The results showed that the RPR was hyperopic with uncorrected and extended depth of focus (EDOF) CL, but became myopic with dual focus (DF) CL. Significant differences were found between RPR curves with both CLs, and there was a relationship between RPR at 30 degrees and myopia level.

Summary: The study aimed to validate an algorithm for assessing meibomian gland visibility and evaluate changes in meibomian glands in scleral lens wearers over one year. Infrared meibography images were obtained and classified into groups based on gland visibility. The proposed method showed objective and repeatable assessment of meibomian gland visibility. Scleral lens wear did not negatively affect gland drop-out and visibility, and may even improve dry eye symptoms after one year.

Summary: Contact lens wearers often experience ocular discomfort, such as dry eye symptoms, which can lead to discontinuation of lens wear. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is identified as the primary cause of evaporative dry eye. This article reviews studies on the association between contact lens use and MGD, presenting evidence that suggests the impact of lens wear on meibomian gland morphology and function. However, further research is needed to clarify the relationship between MGD and contact lens wear, considering factors such as lens material and wear times, through prospective studies with control non-lens wearers.

Summary: The effect of a contact lens (CL) intended for myopia control on choroidal thickness (ChT) and retinal electrical response was investigated. It was found that the radial power gradient CL (PG) increased ChT and attenuated the amplitude of retinal response. These effects may be due to the combined impact of induced peripheral defocus and high-order aberrations on the central retinal image.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the peripheral defocus induced with a perifocal ophthalmic lens for myopia progression control and its impact on visual function. The study found that the perifocal lenses induced myopic defocus on the nasal retina but not on the temporal retina. Additionally, there were no significant differences in visual contrast sensitivity and light disturbance between the monofocal and perifocal lenses.
