Myopia Progression in School-Age Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

J Clin Med

November 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Maltepe University, 34844 Istanbul, Turkey.

This study aimed to investigate changes in refraction error in myopic school-age children during the COVID-19 pandemic. : The data of 825 myopic children aged 7-18 years were retrospectively screened from the hospital data access system. The cycloplegic prescriptions of the patients in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 were recorded.

Background: Remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic caused behavioural changes such as increased screen time and decreased outdoor time. This study aimed to investigate myopia progression in children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study performed among 2064 patients ages 2-17 with cycloplegic refractions in the months of January 2019-March 2021 at a tertiary children's hospital.

Aims: To evaluate the myopia control efficacy of Diffusion Optics Technology (DOT) spectacle lenses in children over a 4-year treatment period.

Methods: CYPRESS Part 1 (NCT03623074) was a 3-year multicentre, randomised, controlled, double-masked trial comparing two investigational spectacle lens DOT designs (Test 1, Test 2) and standard single vision Control lenses in 256 North American children aged 6-10 years. Children completing Part 1 (n=200) were invited to enrol in CYPRESS Part 2 (NCT04947735) for an additional 1-year period.

Background: Implantable Collamer Lense (ICL) presents a viable alternative to conventional refractive surgeries, but their impact on corneal microstructure remains unclear. By employing in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), we examined changes in stromal and endothelial cells following the insertion of V4c ICLs, with the goal of enhancing post-surgical care and outcomes.

Methods: In this longitudinal investigation, we conducted detailed preoperative assessments on 103 eyes from 53 participants.
