This prospective interventional study evaluates the effectiveness of Cylindrical Annular Refractive Element (C.A.R.E.) spectacle lenses in slowing axial elongation and myopia progression in children aged 6-12 years. A total of 100 participants with myopia ranging from -0.75 to -6.00 diopters were enrolled and prescribed C.A.R.E. spectacle lenses for full-time wear over a 12-month period. Clinical examinations are conducted at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months and include measurements of axial length, cycloplegic refraction, and visual acuity.
The primary outcome measure is the change in axial length over the 12-month study period. Secondary outcomes include changes in spherical equivalent refractive error, visual acuity, and safety outcomes related to spectacle lens wear.
