Comparison of the performance of myopia control in European children and adolescents with defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) and highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) spectacles.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A performance comparison of two myopia control spectacle lens designs, defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) and highly aspherical lenslets (HAL), at slowing myopia progression in a European child/adolescent population. Previous research directly comparing these designs has been limited to Chinese participants and 1-year follow-up. The prevalence of myopia in European child/adolescent has been estimated at 22.60%.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study of individuals (6-17 years) with myopia progression. Participants wore DIMS (Hoya MiyoSmart) or HAL (Essilor Stellest) spectacles for a minimum of 2 years. Axial length (AL) and cycloplegic autorefraction (spherical equivalent refraction (SER)) were measured at baseline and 1 and 2 years.

Results

Mean 1-year
