“…Although soft contact lenses do not appear to affect myopia progression compared to spectacle correction 202 , an ongoing 3‐year study (The Contact Lens and Myopia Progression [CLAMP] Study) 203 is due to report in 2004 on the efficacy of rigid gas‐permeable contact lenses in myopia control. The study is supported by the USA National Eye Institute and extends previous studies where treatment outcomes were equivocal 204−206 . Presently 116 children (mean age 10.5 years at the baseline visit, range 8−11 years) are enrolled.…”

The myopic eye is generally considered to be a vulnerable eye and, at levels greater than 6 D, one that is especially susceptible to a range of ocular pathologies. There is concern therefore that the prevalence of myopia in young adolescent eyes has increased substantially over recent decades and is now approaching 10-25% and 60-80%, respectively, in industrialized societies of the West and East. Whereas it is clear that the major structural correlate of myopia is longitudinal elongation of the posterior vitreous chamber, other potential correlates include profiles of lenticular and corneal power, the relationship between longitudinal and transverse vitreous chamber dimensions and ocular volume. The most potent predictors for juvenile-onset myopia continue to be a refractive error

“…3 For decades, researchers studying myopia have searched for effective ways to slow its progression in children. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In the last decade, a number of reports have been published on the effectiveness of orthokeratology (ortho-k) for myopia control in children. 9,11,[13][14][15][16][17][18] These studies have been subjected to metaanalysis by two groups of researchers 19,20 who both confirmed the effectiveness of ortho-k for myopia control.…”

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2017;58:141158: -141658: . DOI: 10.1167 PURPOSE. To determine the relative risk of rapid progression and number needed to treat (NNT) in younger and older children using combined data from the retardation of myopia in orthokeratology (ROMIO) and toric orthokeratology-slowing eye elongation (TO-SEE) studies.METHODS. Data from 136 subjects of two studies, ROMIO and TO-SEE, were retrieved (72 orthokeratology [ortho-k]: 37 ROMIO, 35 TO-SEE; 64 control: 41 ROMIO, 23 TO-SEE) and the myopia control effect on younger (6-8 years) and older (9-12 years) subjects evaluated. The rate of axial elongation was classified as not rapid (axial elongation ¼ <0.36 mm/year) or rapid (axial elongation >0.36 mm/year). RESULTS.Cumulative frequency curves showed that the younger subjects in the control group had the greatest and most rapid axial elongation at the end of 24 months. In the younger subjects, ortho-k lens wear significantly reduced the risk of rapid progression by 88.8% (P ¼ 0.002). The 2-year NNT for the younger ortho-k subgroup was 1.8, suggesting that treating just two younger subjects with ortho-k would prevent one subject from experiencing rapid progression over a 2-year period of treatment. The 2-year NNT for the older ortho-k subgroup was 11.8, which was statistically insignificant (P ¼ 0.197).CONCLUSIONS. Orthokeratology significantly reduced risk of rapid progression in younger subjects. Treating just two 6-to 8-year-old subjects with ortho-k instead of single-vision spectacles could prevent one subject from developing rapidly progressing axial elongation during this critical 2-year period.

“…[83] A large number of studies investigated the effect of different types of contact lenses (silicone acrylate contact lenses, hydrophilic contact lenses, hydrogel lenses) on the progression of myopia had been done. [84][85][86][87][88][89][90] Though most of the studies had small sample size or were not randomized, they did suggest that wearing soft contact lenses induced increasing in myopia progression. [84,91,92] Another large sample size, randomized study done by Horner et al suggested that there were no significant different in the rate of myopia progression between the children who wore SCLs and spectacles.…”
