Study on the Effect of Children and Adolescents Using DIMS Lens Combinated with Visual Therapy to Myopia Control
The study focused on observing the clinical effects of myopia control in children aged 5 to 18. The participants were non-randomly assigned to two groups based on their willingness to undergo visual therapy: Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments lens group (DIMS group) and the combined group of DIMS lenses and visual therapy (combined group). A retrospective observational study was conducted on the data from 230 eyes of enrolled children after a 6-month follow-up, revealing that all enrolled children exhibited slow myopia progression, with an average spherical equivalent(SE) progression of (-0.07±0. 18)D/half year and an average axial elongation of (0.04±0. 15) mm/half year. There was no statistical difference in the degree of spherical equivalent progression between the two treatment groups(X2=3.200, P>0.05), but there was a statistical diference in the degree of axial elongation progression (X2=10.667, P<0.05). In conclusion, through 6-month clinical follow-up, it was found that myopic children wearing DIMS lenses can achieve effective control over myopia (SE) progression and axial elongation;furthermore,simultaneous visual therapy may provide additional benefits for controlling axial elongation.
