Abstract
Purpose: This paper was to study the clinical effects of moderating myopia by comparing the myopia control lens, which was being recently recognized as a method of inhibiting the progression of myopia, with the wearers of single vision lens. Methods: Using 56 subjects between the ages of 8-15 years (112 eyes) with myopia in the areas of City of Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk Province as study subjects, refractive error, axial length, near point of convergence and accommodative near point were measured and compared a total of 3 times at the baseline, after 1-month and after 6-months. Results: For refractive error, suppression and mitigation were seen in the progression of spherical equivalent when MC lens was worn, as compared to using SV lens, and, when axial length MC lens was worn, the axial progression was significantly suppressed and delayed (p < 0.05). The near point of convergence became shorter with the use of MC lens, and the amplitude of convergence was improved when MC lens was worn. Accommodative near point became shorter with the use of MC lens, and focus ability was significantly improved (p <0.05). Conclusions: It was shown that MC lens, compared to SV lens, could alleviate myopia progression in school-age children and youth. It is considered that MC lens can be used as a useful therapy for the inhibition of myopia progression in the increasing number of myopic children and adolescents.
