A Randomized Clinical Trial of Progressive Addition Lenses versus Single Vision Lenses on the Progression of Myopia in Children

TL;DR: Use of progressive addition lenses compared with SVLs slowed the progression of myopia in COMET children by a small, statistically significant amount only during the first year, and provided some support for the COMET rationale, a role for defocus in progression ofMyopia.
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomized trial of atropine vs patching for treatment of moderate amblyopia in children

Stephen R. Glaser, +97 more
TL;DR: Both treatments were well tolerated, although atropine had a slightly higher degree of acceptability on a parental questionnaire and more patients in the atropin group had reduced acuity in the sound eye at 6 months, but this did not persist with further follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accommodation and related risk factors associated with myopia progression and their interaction with treatment in COMET children.

TL;DR: The results support the COMET rationale and suggest children with large lags of accommodation and near esophoria often are prescribed PALs or bifocals to improve visual performance and such children, if myopic, may have an additional benefit of slowed progression of myopia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship of age, sex, and ethnicity with myopia progression and axial elongation in the correction of myopia evaluation trial.

TL;DR: Younger baseline age was the strongest factor independently associated with faster myopic progression and greater axial elongation at 3 years, and African American children had less myopia progression and axIAL elongation than the other ethnic groups.
