Dynamic Accommodation Responses in Subjects Wearing Myopia Control Spectacles Modifying Peripheral Refraction
Abstract
Purpose: Peripheral optics have been suggested to play a role in myopia progression, with accommodation responses also considered a potential contributor. This study aimed to investigate whether modifications in peripheral optics through different spectacle lenses affect accommodation responses.
Methods: Dynamic accommodation responses were assessed using a double-pass instrument while switching the target from distance (3 m for 3 seconds) to near (0.22 m/4.5 D for adults, 0.18 m/5.5 D for children, 5 seconds) and then back to distance (3 m for 3 seconds). Three groups were studied. Group 1 included 13 adults (age = 28 ± 4.5 years). Participants wore one of three myopia control lenses (MiYOSMART [Hoya], Stellest [Essilor], or MyoCare [ZEISS]) randomly, along with their habitual glasses. The testing involved both central clear zones and peripheral side-vision zones, with habitual glasses served as reference. Group 2 underwent same procedure, but in children (age = 9.8 ± 1.7 years). Group 3 included 8 adults (age = 27.9 ± 5.3 years) wearing standard glasses partially excised with central holes (diameter = 12 mm). The lens refraction included plano, +3 D defocus, -3 D defocus, and -3 D oblique astigmatism.
Results: The accommodative lag was less than 0.5 D for all eyes under near stimulation. No significant differences in the amplitude of accommodation responses were observed among the myopia control lenses or the partially excised glasses.
Conclusions: No effect on…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.
