More results

Many new optical treatments have been developed recently to slow the progression of myopia.

Spectacle lens treatments for myopia control are safe, valuable tools in clinical practice.

Conclusion

Further laboratory and clinical studies should help to clarify the nature of the mechanisms of action and improve efficacy.
