Brief summary
This is a one-year, mono-centre, randomize, double-masked, monocular cross-over clinical trial designed to test and compare the efficacy of the new lens design in slowing down the increase of axial length and controlling myopia progression.
Detailed description
The clinical trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a test lens, designed to modify the amount of myopic control signal on the retina without compromising vision. The primary goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the test lens in slowing down the increase of axial length and controlling myopia progression compared to the reference lens design.
Interventions
The MCL1, is a myopia control lens that corrects refractive error and simultaneously creates myopia control signals. It will be worn on one eye for 6 months.
The MCL2, is a myopia control lens that corrects refractive error and simultaneously creates myopia control signals. It will be worn on the contralateral eye for 6 months.

Masking description
As this is a double-masked, randomized controlled trial, both the investigators and subjects will be masked.
Intervention model description
This is a one-year, mono-centre, randomized, double-masked, monocular cross-over Clinical Trial with the objective to test and compare the efficacy of the new lens design in slowing down the increase of axial length and controlling myopic progression. The subject starts by wearing Myopia Control Lens 1 (MCL1) in one eye, and Myopia Control Lens 2 (MCL2) in another eye. After 6 months, a new pair of study spectacles will be dispensed with MCL1 and MCL2 crossed over. At the end of the 1-year period, each eye would have worn both MCL1 and MCL2 for 6 months each. There will be a total of 7 study visits with follow up periods at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months
