DIMS lenses effectively slow myopic progression in adolescents by reducing Spherical Equivalent shift and suppressing axial elongation. Compared with SVS lenses, DIMS wear reduces horizontal/vertical astigmatic components but may increase oblique total and corneal astigmatism over long-term use. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring directional astigmatic changes during DIMS intervention, particularly in children with high baseline or oblique astigmatism.
