Two-year results of Lenslet-ARray-Integrated spectacle lenses for myopia control in children
摘要
To investigate the 2-year myopia control efficacy of Lenslet-ARray-Integrated (LARI) lenses with positive (PLARI) and negative (NLARI) power lenslets and the effect of switching lens designs.
MethodsA total of 218 children, who were randomly assigned to wear PLARI, NLARI, or single-vision (SV) lenses in Phase 1 continued in this randomized, double-masked extended trial for an additional year (Phase 2). Participants were randomly assigned to one of six groups: SV to PLARI, SV to NLARI, PLARI to PLARI (P-PLARI), PLARI to NLARI (P-NLARI), NLARI to PLARI (N-PLARI), and NLARI to NLARI (N-NLARI). In year 2, the change in spherical equivalent refraction (SER) and axial elongation (AE) from the SV group were extrapolated based on published data [the extrapolated single vision (ESV) group]. Linear models were used to determine differences in SER changes and AE among groups in 2 years and in Phase 2 only.
ResultsAfter 2 years, the SER changes (− 0.87 ± 0.68 D, − 0.64 ± 0.86 D, − 0.68 ± 0.54 D, and − 0.75 ± 0.62 D, respectively) and AE (0.44 ± 0.33 mm, 0.33 ± 0.32 mm, 0.36 ± 0.23 mm, and 0.39 ± 0.25 mm, respectively) of P-PLARI, P-NLARI, N-PLARI, and N-NLARI were significantly smaller than those in the ESV group (SER: − 1.24 ± 0.77 D, all P < 0.05; AE: 0.63 ± 0.33 mm, all P < 0.001). In Phase 2, there was no significant difference in SER changes among the four LARI groups and ESV group (P = 0.58). In Phase 2, AE of the P-NLARI and N-PLARI groups was significantly smaller than the ESV group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.001), and AE of the P-PLARI and N-NLARI groups were slightly smaller than that of ESV group (P = 0.054 and P = 0.10), but there were no significant differences in AE among the four LARI groups (all P > 0.05).
ConclusionsWearing LARI lenses for 2 years effectively slowed myopia progression and AE. Switching to another LARI design after 1 year improved myopia control efficacy, in terms of AE, during the second year, but not SER progression.
