Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1) Age: 6 to 12 years at enrolment2) Myopia: Cycloplegic Spherical equivalent refractive error -1.0 to -7.0 diopters (D) in each eye3) Anisometropia : < 1.5 D4) Astigmatism: < 1.5 D5) Best corrected visual acuity 20/25 or better6) Informed parental consent
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) Ophthalmic diseases, conditions, or syndromes other than ammetropia and myelinated nerve fiber layer, or prematurity (less than 36 weeks of gestation)2) Previous use of optical or pharmacologic treatment for myopia control (e.g., defocusing spectacle or contact lenses, orthokeratology, atropine, or pirenzepine) 3) Systemic diseases (e.g., endocrine, cardiac diseases) and developmental anomalies4) Inability to attend regular follow up visits
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes in cycloplegic spherical equivalent refractive error and changes in axial length. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes in the rate of spherical equivalent refractive error and axial length increase. Changes in other biometric parameters except axial length: anterior chamber depth, corneal curvature, white to white, choroidal thickness and choroidal structures. Best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressures, ocular and systemic symptoms, ocular signs assessed by slit lamp biomicroscopy and binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy, and questionnaire for self-reported visual function. | — |
