Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effects of repeated low-level red light (RLRL) and 0.01% atropine on retinal vascular density and thickness in premyopic schoolchildren over six months.
  • Sixty-nine students with specific refractive conditions were randomly assigned to either the RLRL group or the atropine group, with measurements taken at the beginning and end of the study using advanced imaging technology.
  • Results showed that while superficial retinal vascular density increased in both groups, deep retinal vascular density only increased in the RLRL group, and there were no significant changes in retinal thickness in either treatment group.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of 0.01% atropine combined with orthokeratology (OK) lens on axial elongation in schoolchildren with myopia.

Methods: Sixty children aged 8-12 years with spherical equivalent refraction (SER) from -1.

Clinical Relevance: There are many methods to control the progression of myopia. However, it is currently unknown which method could better control myopia progression: 0.02% atropine eye drops, peripheral myopic defocus design spectacle lenses (PMDSL), or orthokeratology (OK).

Purpose: There is a particular anisometropia occurring in one eye with myopia, while the other eye has very low myopia, emmetropia, or very low hyperopia. It is unclear how the binocular axial length changes when these children wear unilateral OK lenses only in the more myopic eyes. This study investigates the changes in the axial elongation of both eyes.

Unlabelled: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of 0.01% atropine eye drops in preventing myopia shift and myopia onset in premyopic children. A prospective, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, and crossover trial was conducted over 13 months.

Background: Several studies have shown that various concentrations of low-concentration atropine can reduce myopia progression and control axial elongation safely and efficiently in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 0.02% and 0.

Background: To evaluate the additive effects of orthokeratology (OK) lenses and 0.01% atropine on slowing axial elongation in myopic children.

Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted over a 12-month period.

Objective: To investigate the effect of orthokeratology (OK) lenses and that of 0.01% atropine eye drops on axial length (AL) elongation in children with myopic anisometropia.

Methods: Ninety-five children with myopic anisometropia who used OK lenses (N=49) or 0.

Four hundred myopic children randomly received atropine 0.02% (n = 138) or 0.01% (n = 142) in both eyes once-nightly or only wore single-vision spectacles (control group) (n = 120) for 2 years.

Three hundred and twenty-eight myopic children, randomized to use either 0.01% (N = 166) or 0.02% (N = 162) atropine were enrolled in this study.

Purpose: Myopia prevalence is influenced by environmental factors including heritability and social disadvantage. The current prevalence of myopia among disadvantaged school children in Australia has not been reported. Therefore, this study analyses refractive data for children from rural and outer suburban areas.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of orthokeratology (OK) lens on axial length (AL) elongation in unilateral myopia and bilateral myopia with anisometropia children.

Methods: Twenty-seven unilateral myopia (group 1) and 25 bilateral myopia with anisometropia children (group 2) were involved in this 1-year retrospective study. The eyes with higher spherical equivalent refractive error (SER) were assigned to the H eyes subgroup and the fellow eyes with lower SER to the L eyes subgroup in the two groups.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between axial length (AL) increase and baseline spherical equivalent refractive errors (SER) in myopic children wearing orthokeratology contact lenses (OK).

Methods: One hundred fifteen Chinese (115 right eyes) children wearing OK were enrolled in this cohort study. Gender, age, baseline SER, corneal power, corneal astigmatism, and AL at baseline and 2 years after wearing OK were collected.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcome of on-flap and off-flap epi-LASIK for moderate to high myopia.

Methods: This prospective, observer-masked, randomized study included 62 eyes of 31 patients with myopia who underwent off-flap epi-LASIK (epikeratome; Moria, Antony, France) in one eye (off-flap group) and on-flap epi-LASIK in the contralateral eye (on-flap group). Corneal ablation was performed with a commercially available laser (Mel-80; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Oberkochen, Germany).
