Ophthalmic & physiological optics · Jul 2026 · Q1 in Ophthalmology

Background

Is provided and a critical eye is passed over some of the designs.

Results

eyes lengthened and worsened far less with these lenses than regular ones

50%

Spectacle lenses

50%

Contact lenses

60%

Orthokeratology

80%

Red-light therapy

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.
