Myopia Control in Children: Comparison of Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments® Lenses Versus Atropine 0.05% Eyedrops

Sponsor: Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild

Summary

Myopia is the most common refractive disorder in the world. Many strategies have been developed to control myopia in children. Among them, the instillation of low-concentration atropine eyedrops has been proven to be effective in numerous publications. Nevertheless, the spreading of atropine use is limited by: (1) its uneven availability, (2) a proportion of children with no or poor response, (3) some issues of long-term compliance (4) the possibility of a rebound effect after treatment cessation. Among the non-drug myopia control strategies, corrective lenses including the Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments® (DIMS®) technology have demonstrated their effectiveness in a previous study (Hong Kong) when compared to monofocal lenses. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of DIMS lenses alone versus atropine 0.05% eyedrops + monofocal lenses, on the evolution of ocular axial length at 2 years in myopic children.
