One-Year Comparative Evaluation of Highly Aspherical Lenslets and Horizontally Asymmetric Peripheral Defocus Lenses for Myopia Control in School-Aged Children.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to compare the one-year efficacy of three spectacle lens designs, highly aspherical lenslets (HALs), horizontally asymmetric peripheral defocus (HAPD) lenses, and standard single vision lenses (SVLs) in slowing myopia progression in school-aged children.

Methods

In this prospective, non-randomized study, 57 children, aged 8-17 years, were grouped based on the type of lenses worn: HAL (n = 16), HAPD (n = 21), or SVL (n = 20). Comprehensive ophthalmologic examinations were performed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Outcome measures included spherical equivalent refraction (SER), spherical refraction (SR), cylindrical refraction (CR), and axial length (AL). Data were analyzed using non-parametric tests with significanc
