Center-for-Near Extended-Depth-of-Focus Soft Contact Lens for Myopia Control in Children: 1-Year Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) soft contact lens for myopia control in children.

Methods

A prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, contralateral-eye comparison clinical trial was conducted in 72 children (40 male and 32 female) aged 9 to 14 years, with each eye randomly selected to wear either an experimental EDOF contact lens or a single-vision control lens at least 8 h per day, 5 days a week, for 52 weeks. Each contact lens was worn and then replaced daily. Measurements including best-corrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent refractive error (SER), axial length (AXL), and keratometry were performed at weeks 1, 4, and 13, and every 13 weeks thereafter for 52 week
