Effect of Three Types of Specially-Designed Myopia Control Spectacle Lenses on Astigmatism: A Two-Year Result

Key Points

The study investigates the effect of three types of myopia control spectacle lenses on astigmatism over a two-year period.
Utilized three specially-designed myopia control spectacle lenses.
Monitored changes in astigmatism measurements over two years.
Compared effects across different lens types and their relation to myopia increase.
Observed a slight increase in refractive astigmatism (<0.50 D) over two years.
The astigmatism increase was not linked to the type of lens used.
The increase in astigmatism correlated more with the progression of myopia.

Abstract

The use of specially-designed myopia control spectacle lenses over 2 years resulted in a slight, but clinically insignificant (<0.50 D) increase in refractive astigmatism. The increase was not associated with lens type, but rather with the increase in myopia.
