Overview

Comparative study reveals altered accommodative dynamics alongside enhanced stereopsis with contact lenses in myopic anisometropia, suggesting trade-offs in binocular correction modalities.

Key Points

To evaluate and compare the binocular and accommodative efficiency of young adults with myopic isometropia versus myopic anisometropia when using contact lenses versus ophthalmic lenses.
Recruited 72 young adult participants divided into an isometropic myopia group (n = 36; age 21.92 ± 3.21 years) and an anisometropic myopia group (n = 36; age 21.44 ± 2.62 years, spherical equivalent refraction difference ≥ 1.00 D).
Assessed binocular and accommodative clinical parameters under both ophthalmic lens and contact lens corrections.
Ophthalmic lens correction produced no significant differences in binocular visual efficiency between the isometropic and anisometropic groups (p > 0.05).
Contact lenses in myopic anisometropia led to a significant increase in accommodative lag (p < 0.001), increased negative relative accommodation (p = 0.007), and reduced near negative fusional vergence reserve (p = 0.012).
Contact lens wear was associated with superior stereoacuity compared to ophthalmic lenses, indicating improved stereoscopic performance in higher degrees of anisometropia.
