“…In childhood myopia, accurate early identification of high-risk children plays an important role in preventing irreversible globe elongation by enabling timely myopia control management. These interventions include topical atropine and multifocal lenses (e.g., myopic defocus spectacles and contact lenses) [47][48][49][50][51][52][53] , which have been shown to be effective in arresting myopia progression. However, identifying children at risk of developing high myopia is often challenging in the clinical setting.…”

“…From July to August 2019, qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 parents, and online questionnaires were completed by 257 parents (Chang, Sun, et al, 2021). On the basis of recent findings in the literature that highlight the importance of axial elongation in 7- to 10-year-old myopic children (Chamberlain et al, 2021; Weiss & Park, 2019), we extracted the sample to analyze their follow-up visit behavior and related factors.…”

BackgroundOrthokeratology (Ortho-k) is an effective method for slowing the progression of myopia and correcting refractive error in school children. Although parents of children aged < 10 years play a major role in Ortho-k lens care, they have a generally low level of compliance in performing regular follow-up visits.PurposeThis study was developed to analyze the associations between follow-up visits by parents of Ortho-k lens wearers aged < 10 years and, respectively, the Ortho-k-related knowledge of these parents and information resources promoting Ortho-k use.MethodsA cross-sectional study design was used. Parents of children who wear Ortho-k lenses were recruited through a private Facebook group with 3,500 members in 2020 that was created in 2018 for information sharing and exchange among parents of these children. The following data were collected: demographics of the parents and their children, four-item Ortho-k-related knowledge, information resources that prompted the decision to use Ortho-k, and the regularity of follow-up visits. These data were presented in terms of means, standard deviations, and percentages. Logistic regression was performed to compute the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsThe study showed that 83.11% had regular follow-up visits. The correct response rate on Ortho-k-related knowledge was > 80%. However, 15.51% of the participants did not recognize axial length as an indicator for monitoring myopia progress, and 10.76% did not know that at least 6 hours of nighttime sleep is required for myopia control with Ortho-k. The most common information resource leading to Ortho-k use was self-acquisition from Internet sources. The spherical equivalent refraction of < −2.0 D was 2.58 times higher in participants with regular follow-up visits than in their peers with irregular follow-up visits (OR = 2.58, 95% CI [0.22, 5.63]). In addition, acknowledgment of “There is no need to change the Ortho-k lenses regularly as long as there is no discomfort” was 7.19 times higher in participants with regular follow-up visits than in their peers with irregular follow-up visits (OR = 7.19, 95% CI [1.26, 13.93]). However, participants with regular follow-up visits did not receive Internet ophthalmology advertisements prompting their decision to use Ortho-k 2.62 times higher than their peers with irregular follow-up visits (OR = 2.62, 95% CI [0.04, 4.29]).ConclusionsThe results support that both information sources and knowledge of Ortho-k use influence the frequency of follow-up visits among parents of Ortho-k lens wearers aged < 10 years. Related support from health professionals in terms of providing appropriate information and guidance is recommended to promote higher rates of regular follow-up visit attendance.

“…According to statistics, more than 150 million people worldwide suffer from moderate to severe visual impairment due to uncorrected ametropia Blindness G.B.D, 2021). At present, the main treatment methods are drug therapy (such as atropine eye drops), instrumental correction (such as frame glasses and keratoscopes), and surgical treatment (such as femtosecond pulsed or excimer lasers) (Li and Yam, 2019;Weiss and Park, 2019;Tsai et al, 2021). However, the complex causes and the large number of people affected renders large-scale screening and stratified analysis of myopia difficult, and the serious complications that are associated with the problem are generally not detected early enough for suitable intervention.…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.
