Part-time Versus Full-time Spectacles for Myopia Control (ParMA Study): A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT: Introduction To compare myopia progression in school-aged children of Caucasian origin wearing part-time vs. full-time full correction with single-vision spectacles. Methods This prospective, randomized controlled trial included 30 children with bilateral myopia, who received either full-time or part-time treatment with single-vision spectacle lenses. Myopia progression was assessed as the mean change in cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SE), mean change in axial length (AL), and mean change in sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SChT), over a 12-month follow-up period. Results A total of 32 eyes were treated with part-time single-vision spectacles (intervention group) and 28 eyes with full-time single-vision spectacles (control group), respectively. The part-time treated group repo
