Myopia control strategies: A systematic review and meta-meta-analysis.
Ophthalmic Physiol Opt
January 2025
University of Ghana Library System, University of Ghana, Accra, Ghana.
Purpose: To summarise pooled estimates of the efficacies of various myopia control interventions, as drawn from published meta-analyses.
Method: PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science were searched from inception to February 2024 for systematic reviews and meta-analyses reporting treatment effects of various myopia control strategies. The qualities of the included meta-analyses were assessed using the 16-item A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) 2.
Multifocal Optics for Myopia Control.
Klin Monbl Augenheilkd
October 2024
Neuro-/Pediatric Ophthalmology, University of Freiburg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- * New studies highlight the role of peripheral vision in slowing myopia, suggesting that multifocal lenses designed to create peripheral myopic defocus can help reduce the elongation of the eyeball, which is linked to worsening myopia.
- * Although these new lenses and contacts are generally safe and well-tolerated, ongoing research should focus on diverse populations and real-world application to ensure that the benefits in managing myopia are meaningful and applicable to different groups.
Slab-off prism for symptomatic, vertical heterophoria in the reading position.
J AAPOS
December 2023
Author affiliations: The Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland. Electronic address:
Purpose: To describe uncommon techniques that induce compensatory strabismus utilizing slab-off spectacle prism to treat symptomatic incomitant vertical strabismus in adults with diplopia in the reading position only.
Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients having a chief complaint of diplopia in the reading position that was treated with slab-off prism correction were reviewed retrospectively. Success of the slab-off spectacle prism correction was determined at the follow-up visit or by phone call for any patients who did not return for a follow-up examination.
The efficacy and safety of combination therapy of repeated low-level red light and defocus-incorporated multiple segments spectacle lenses for myopia control in children: the study protocol for a 12-month, randomized, parallel-controlled, and single-center clinical trial.
Trials
July 2024
Tianjin Key Laboratory of Retinal Functions and Diseases, Tianjin Branch of National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Disease, Eye Institute and School of Optometry, Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital, Tianjin, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates whether combining low-level red light therapy (RLRL) with defocus-incorporated multiple segment (DIMS) lenses is more effective in controlling myopia in Chinese children aged 8-12 than using DIMS alone.
- - It is a 12-month clinical trial recruiting 66 participants to either receive RLRL therapy at home along with DIMS lenses, or just DIMS lenses for myopia correction.
- - The primary measure of success will be changes in axial length over 12 months, with additional assessments of refraction and safety outcomes also planned.
Perception and awareness of the public about presbyopia and its corrective approaches in Saudi Arabia: a population-based survey.
BMC Public Health
July 2024
Department of Optometry, College of Applied Medical Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Background: This study investigated patients' awareness of presbyopia and its management approaches and their preferred methods for near vision correction.
Methods: In Saudi Arabia, 785 participants (aged between 35 and 60 years) completed a structured survey online, consisting of hard copies and direct interviews. The survey consisted of twenty-eight items divided into three parts.
