Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the relationship between changes in accommodative and binocular function with myopia progression in myopic children over a two-year follow-up period, and to determine when changes in visual functions stabilized after switching from spectacles to orthokeratology (Ortho-K). METHODS This prospective, self-controlled study followed thirty-six participants (aged 8-14 years) for two years after they switched from spectacles to Ortho-K. Accommodative and binocular function were assessed prior to and 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after commencing Ortho-K. Measurements included accommodative amplitude, accommodative response, accommodative facility, accommodative convergence/accommodation (AC/A), ocular alignment, positive relative accommodation (PRA), negative relative accommodation (NRA), horizontal vergence range, reading ability and stereoacuity. Myopia progression was quantified by the change in axial length. RESULTS Ocular alignment, monocular and binocular accommodative facility, and PRA stabilized after 1 month. The distance blur point in the convergence range, the distance break and recovery point in the divergence range, accommodative amplitude, calculated AC/A, stereoacuity and reading ability stabilized within 6 months. After two years of Ortho-K, NRA significantly increased (p = 0.044), while it showed no significant difference after one-year of lens wear (p = 0.49). The distance break point in the convergence range showed no significant difference (p = 0.20), but significantly decreased after one-year (p = 0.005). There were no significant correlations between the change in axial length with changes in accommodative or binocular function (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Accommodative and binocular function changed significantly after switching from spectacles to Ortho-K and most of the parameters stabilized within the first 6 months. There was no association between the change in accommodative or binocular function and myopia progression.

Cont Lens Anterior Eye 2024; 47:102133. [PMID: 38467534 DOI: 10.1016/j.clae.2024.102133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess accommodation and spherical aberration changes during one year of orthokeratology lens wear and one month after lens cessation. METHODS A prospective, randomized, longitudinal study was conducted on forty-seven young healthy subjects at the Optometry Clinic of the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). Non-cycloplegic refraction, high and low uncorrected visual acuity, high and low best corrected visual acuity, accommodative lag, horizontal near phoria, corneal topography, and high-order aberrations were performed at baseline, 1-day, 1-week, 1-, 6- and 12-months of lens wear and after one month of wash out period. p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS Spherical equivalent refraction (SE) was -3.23 ± 1.57D at baseline and -0.36 ± 0.64D after 12-months of lens wear, while accommodative lag changed from 0.53 ± 0.39D to 0.15 ± 0.29D after one year of lens wear. No significant differences were found when comparing SE at baseline and after one month of lens cessation (p > 0.05). A high correlation was found between the accommodative lag at baseline and after 12 M of lens wear. 22 out of 25 subjects with exophoria at baseline showed a significant reduction in the deviation at 12-months (p < 0.05). Total spherical aberration increased during all visits due to the lens wear (p < 0.05) although internal spherical aberration showed a significant decrease for 1-week, 1-month and 12-month visits (p < 0,05). CONCLUSION Orthokeratology lenses may change the accommodative response of the patient as a reduction on accommodative lag on exophoric patients and an overall increase on the internal spherical aberrations was found during treatment but return to nearly baseline values when cessation.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the influence of spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) on binocular vision and accommodation in myopic children with intermittent exotropia (IXT) and compare the changes after wearing HAL in binocular vision and accommodation in myopic children with or without IXT. Method Forty myopic subjects aged 8–12 years were recruited: 20 with IXT and 20 visually normal children. Stereoacuity, phoria, accommodative facility, fusional vergence, vergence facility, near point of convergence, amplitude of accommodation, and accommodative response (AR) were measured by wearing HAL or single vision spectacle lenses (SVL) in a random order after adapting for 20 minutes. Accommodative microfluctuation (AMF) was defined as the standard deviation of AR. Changes in binocular vision and accommodation after wearing HAL were compared between the two groups. Results No significant differences were found in binocular vision after wearing HAL versus SVL in either group (all P > 0.05). A greater AMF was found after wearing HAL than after wearing SVL in both groups (0.04 D, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.03 to 0.05 D, P < 0.001 for the IXT group; 0.05 D, 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.07 D, P < 0.001 for the visually normal group); however, the other accommodation parameters did not change significantly (all P > 0.05). There were no differences in the changes after wearing HAL in any parameter between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion HAL did not significantly change the binocular vision and accommodation for myopic children with or without IXT except for AMF in the short term.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
To investigate the short- and long-term effects of myopia control spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) and slightly aspherical lenslets (SAL) on visual function and visual quality using data obtained from a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Methods
This was a prospective, randomized, controlled, and double-blinded study; 170 myopic children aged 8–13 years were randomly assigned to the HAL, SAL, or single-vision spectacle lenses (SVL) groups. Distance and near visual acuity (VA) at high (100%) and low (10%) contrast in photopic and scotopic conditions, near phoria, stereoacuity, and accommodative lag, microfluctuations (AMFs), amplitude (AA) were measured after wearing lenses for 10 min, 6 months, and 12 months.
Results
In total, 161 subjects completed all follow-up in 12 months and were included in the analysis. After 10 min of wearing, the HAL and SAL groups had lower scotopic and low-contrast VA than the SVL group (decreased 0.03–0.08 logMAR and 0.01–0.04 logMAR in different VAs in the HAL and SAL groups, respectively, all P < 0.05). The reduction in VA was recovered at 12 months as the HAL and SAL groups exhibited significant VA improvements, and the VA was not different among the three groups (all P > 0.05). The HAL and SAL groups had significantly larger AMFs than the SVL group (HAL vs. SAL vs. SVL: 0.21 ± 0.08 D vs. 0.16 ± 0.05 D vs. 0.15 ± 0.06 D at baseline, 0.19 ± 0.07 D vs. 0.17 ± 0.05 D vs. 0.13 ± 0.07 D at 12 months, all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in accommodative lag, AA, or phoria between the groups (all P > 0.05). The HAL and SAL groups had reduced stereoacuity compared to the SVL group at baseline (70’ vs. 60’ vs. 50’, P = 0.005), but no difference was observed at 12 months (70’ vs. 70’ vs. 70’, P = 0.11).
Conclusions
HAL and SAL have no significant influence on accommodation and phoria except had larger AMF than SVL. Scotopic VA and low-contrast VA are reduced with short-term HAL and SAL use but recovered to be at same level with the SVL after 1 year of use.

Abstract
Theoretically, contact lenses change the accommodation and vergence demands of the eyes and directly or indirectly influence binocular vision. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of different optical designs of contact lenses on binocular vision and visual behavior among young adults. In this randomized, single-blinded experimental study, visual behavioral performance (VBP) and Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaires were used for preliminary screening. Nineteen myopic subjects aged 20-26 years (21.59 ± 1.40 years) participated in the study. Baseline values for subjective refraction and binocular visual functions were evaluated. All the subjects were randomly grouped to wear different optical designs of single-vision, progressive, and bifocal contact lenses. Eye examinations were performed on the first day (CL baseline), 2nd week, and 4th week of wearing the lenses. In addition, subjects completed the VBP and visual quality questionnaire again at the end of the examination. Single-vision contact lenses (Lens 1) increased accommodative lag, negative relative accommodation, and distant and near vergence; however, vergence facilities, accommodative facilities, heterophoria, and the comfort and posture balance dimensions in the VBP questionnaire were improved. Progressive contact lenses (Lens 2) reduced the lag of accommodation and near vergence; in addition, vergence facilities and accommodative facilities were also improved. Bifocal contact lenses (Lens 3) affected negative and positive relative accommodation, but vergence facilities and accommodative facilities also progressed. Furthermore, both progressive (Lens 2) and bifocal (Lens 3) contact lenses enhanced overall visual behavioral performance. In terms of visual quality, single-vision contact lenses (Lens 1) were the most comfortable, progressive and bifocal contact lenses reduced distant visual acuity and stability, progressive contact lenses (Lens 2) had more complaints about halos at night, and bifocal contact lens (Lens 3) users were more likely to have double vision. Compared with single-vision contact lenses, progressive and bifocal contact lenses relaxed accommodation, reduced the lag of accommodation, and improved visual behavioral performance. Although the vergence function showed a significant change, it did not show worse trends when wearing contact lenses. Contact lenses with different optical designs have a great influence on binocular vision and visual behavioral performance.

Abstract
Orthokeratology is a procedure involving the use of reverse-geometry lenses to temporarily correct refractive errors. Switching from spectacles to orthokeratology lenses may influence binocular visual function and accommodation. This is the first report of orthokeratology lens-associated acquired esotropia, a form of distance esotropia, in an adolescent with myopic anisometropia.

Abstract
Purpose: Involvement of the accommodative mechanism in myopia progression has been hypothesised and investigated over the past years, given the emerging myopia crisis across the globe. This review aimed at exploring the clinical role of accommodative function in myopia development.Methods: A literature search of MEDLINE and EMBASE was performed from conception to May 2021.Results:The initial stimulus for accommodation is derived from near work, in an attempt of the eye to obtain a clear image. When there is a lag in the accommodative response, the resulting blurred retinal image is believed to precipitate axial elongation and lead to myopia development. The dynamic accommodative functions implicated in binocular vision evaluation include the accommodative accuracy, amplitude and facility. Association of these accommodative parameters to current treatment options for myopia control is of great clinical interest. Effective myopia treatments, including orthokeratology, multifocal lenses and atropine eyedrops appear to induce changes in the dynamic accommodative response.Conclusions: Current knowledge indicates an evident relationship between the accommodative mechanism and myopia development. Further investigation by future studies is warranted in order to explore the use of accommodative function as a promising myopia-monitoring tool.

Abstract
CLINICAL RELEVANCE The peripheral refraction profile in myopes with different corrective modalities varies significantly for both distance and near viewing and will have implications in managing myopia. BACKGROUND This study investigated how the magnitude of peripheral myopic defocus induced by Ortho-K varies with and without accommodation, and how this compares to single vision spectacles and soft-contact-lenses (SCL). METHODS Relative peripheral refraction (RPR) of 18 young adults (spherical equivalent -1.00 D to -4.50 D) was determined along the horizontal meridian (±10°, ±20°, ±25°) during distance (3-metres) and near viewing (0.2-metres), and along vertical meridian (±10°, ±15°) for distance viewing alone. Measurements were obtained in an uncorrected state and with single vision spectacles, soft contact lens and Ortho-K. Changes in RPR and astigmatic components were compared between distance and near viewing with all different modalities. RESULTS A significant interaction (p = 0.02) between relative peripheral refraction and the target distance (distance and near viewing) was found among different refractive modalities. Single overnight Ortho-K lens wear alone led to relative peripheral myopia for both distance (mean RPR ± SE: -0.92 ± 0.21D and -1.04 ± 0.22D) and near viewing (-0.71 ± 0.17D and -0.76 ± 0.20D). Comparisons of relative peripheral refraction between different corrective modalities at each eccentricity indicated statistical significance of RPR at extreme locations along both temporal and nasal meridian (±20 and ±25°, p < 0.05). RPR with soft contact lenses and spectacles were similar for both distance and near viewing (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Single overnight Ortho-K lens wear alone shifted the RPR in the myopic direction for both distance and near viewing in comparison with single vision spectacles and soft contact lenses. The Ortho-K lens designs that offer a large amount of mid-peripheral corneal steeping, in-turn leading to high relative peripheral myopia for both distance and near viewing and might offer beneficial effects on myopia control.

Abstract
Abnormal accommodative convergence per diopter of accommodative response (AC/A ratio) ratio is an important factor leading to myopia. This study aimed to examine the effect of refractive correction on the gradient of AC/A ratio with low-to-moderate myopia in children and adolescents. Children and adolescents aged 8-18 years, with low and moderate myopia, were divided into groups of myopia with no refractive correction and myopic continuous refractive correction of more than half a year. Then, in accordance with the myopia gradient, they were further divided into 0.00 to - 1.50, - 1.75 to - 3.00, - 3.25 to - 4.50, and - 4.75 to - 6.00 groups. Results showed that the AC/A ratio of the myopic group without refractive correction history was significantly higher than that with refractive correction history for more than half a year. The AC/A ratio increased with the deepening of myopia in the group without refractive history of myopia. However, it decreased significantly in the group with refractive history of myopia for more than half a year. Therefore, the AC/A ratio is related to the degree of uncorrected myopia, and it increases with the degree of uncorrected myopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to observe and analyze the dynamic accommodation and binocular vision changes in myopic children after they switched from spectacles to orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses. METHODS Thirty-six myopic children aged 8-14 years were enrolled in this prospective, self-controlled study from West China Hospital. General information was gathered, and examinations were performed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after switching to ortho-k lenses. The examination included assessments of distance/near visual acuity, distance/near horizontal and vertical ocular alignment, distance/near horizontal vergence range, accommodative amplitude, monocular/binocular accommodative facility, accommodative response, positive and negative relative accommodation (PRA/NRA), accommodation convergence/accommodation (AC/A), stereopsis, and reading ability. RESULTS After the children switched to ortho-k lenses, distance and near ocular alignment showed an exophoric shift (distance: p = 0.001, near: p = 0.002), and the horizontal vergence range decreased by different degrees (convergence: distance blur point (p = 0.002), distance break point (p = 0.005), near blur point (p = 0.011), near break point (p = 0.043); divergence: distance break point (p < 0.001), distance recover point (p < 0.001), near recover point (p = 0.005)). The stereopsis ability (p < 0.001), monocular/binocular accommodative facility (p < 0.001), and PRA (p = 0.010) increased. The accommodative lag (p < 0.001), accommodative amplitude (p < 0.001), and calculated and gradient AC/A (calculated: p = 0.001, gradient: p = 0.025) decreased. The adjusted horizontal and vertical reading times and their ratio decreased (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The subjects showed distance and near exophoric shifts after switching to ortho-k lenses; improvements in accommodative function, stereopsis, and ocular motility; and a decrease in the binocular horizontal vergence range. The relationships between these changes and the ortho-k myopic control effects require further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the zone of clear single binocular vision (ZCSBV) in myopic children and young adults after 12 months of orthokeratology (OK) wear, in comparison with single-vision soft contact lens (SCL) wear. METHODS Twelve children (8-16 years) and 8 adults (18-29 years) were assessed with a series of near-point binocular vision tests when myopia was corrected using single-vision SCLs and again after 1 and 12 months of OK wear, and axial length was measured. The ZCSBV was constructed for baseline SCL wear and after 12 months of OK wear. RESULTS After 1 month of OK wear, increased accommodative responses were noted in children (C) and adults (A) as increased binocular amplitude (C:P=0.03, A:P=0.04) and reduced accommodative lag (C:P=0.01, A:P=0.01). Divergence reserves improved after 1 month in both groups (P<0.04), and a near exophoric shift was evident at 12 months (C:P=0.01, A:P=0.04). All changes at 1 month maintained stability at 12 months. An increase in accommodation and vergence responses without reduction in range resulted in an expansion of the ZCSBV in both age groups. Axial length did not significantly change in either children (P=0.25) or adults (P=0.72). CONCLUSION In both pediatric and young adult myopes, the ZCSBV expands toward a more divergent, increased accommodation response in OK compared with SCL wear. This occurs without a corresponding loss of convergence or accommodation deactivation, indicating improved depth of focus. These findings are relevant to visual acceptance and possible mechanisms of OK's efficacy for myopia control.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two months of orthokeratology (OK) treatment in the accommodative response of young adult myopes. Twenty eyes (21.8 ± 1.8 years) were fitted with the Paragon CRT® 100 LENS to treat myopia between −1.00 and −2.00 D. Low- and high-contrast visual acuity (LCDVA and HCDVA), central objective refraction, light disturbance (LD), and objective accommodative response (using the Grand Seiko WAM-5500 open-field autorefractometer coupled with a Badal system) were measured at baseline (BL) before lens wear and after 1, 15, 30, and 60 nights of OK. Refractive error correction was achieved during the first fifty days of OK lens wear, with minimal changes afterwards. LD analysis showed a transient increase followed by a reduction to baseline levels over the first 30 nights of treatment. The accommodative response was lower than expected for all target vergences in all visits (BL: 0.61 D at 1.00 D to 0.96 D at 5.00 D; 60 N: 0.36 D at 1.00 D to 0.79 D at 5.00 D). On average, the accommodative lag decreases over time with OK lens wear. However, these differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.050, repeated-measures ANOVA and Friedman test). This shows that overnight OK treatment does not affect objectively measured the accommodative response of young, low myopic eyes after two months of treatment stabilization.

[PMID: 33023822 DOI: 10.1016/j.clae.2020.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE This study set out to illustrate the trajectories of myopia control in time sequence and explore orthokeratology compliance for parents with myopic children in the first fitting within one year. Profiling these results is crucial to improving myopia control and orthokeratology care. PURPOSE To obtain a better understanding of myopia control and orthokeratology care that could promote compliance with orthokeratology (ortho-K) lenses for parents with myopic children. METHODS We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews and pre-interview questionnaire surveys of the parent who is mainly responsible for complying to ortho-K lens care for their myopic children aged 7-12 years, including 16 mothers and 4 fathers. A framework analytical approach that involved gaining familiarity with the data to identify a thematic framework was used for data analysis. It was written in line with the COREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research) checklist. RESULTS Five themes and twelve subthemes depicted the parents' trajectory during myopia diagnosis, treatment, and compliance with ortho- K for their children in the first fitting within one year. Myopia control and the convenience of outdoor activities were important reasons for parents to actively ask for ortho-K lenses for their children. Parents have non-compliance behaviors after the children wore the lenses for three months, including not scheduling follow-up visits, simplifying cleaning procedures, not replacing accessories. The degree of parents' non-compliance differed based on the uncomfortable feelings of their child's eyes. In general, clear, unaided vision (visual acuity > 0.9) during the day was an indicator of ortho-K's effectiveness, according to parents. CONCLUSIONS Although parents play a passive role when a child is diagnosed with myopia, they take on a proactive role when deciding on ortho-K treatment. Myopia treatment for children is a long-term process. Understanding the course of treatment and non-compliance helps eye care professionals provide parents with the necessary assistance and resources, and enables myopia treatment to yield maximum effects.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the impact of contact lens optical design on accommodative behaviour of children and the correlation between myopia progression and the accommodative response of the eye while wearing a contact lens designed for myopia control. METHODS A post-hoc analysis was conducted on data from a previously published myopia control trial. A total of 109 subjects (aged 8 to 11 years, myopia: -0.75 to -4.00 D) wore either a Control (single-vision, n = 57) or a Test (with positive spherical aberration, +SA, n = 52) soft contact lens, binocularly for 1 year. Accommodative response was measured as the subject observed targets at -1.00 to -4.00 D vergence using the Grand Seiko WAM-5500 open-field autorefractor (www.grandseiko.com). Slope of accommodative response (SAR) as well as distance and near phoria and stimulus accommodative convergence/accommodation (AC/A) were compared between each group at baseline without study lenses and at 1-week and 1-year visits with study lenses. The SAR was also compared to changes in axial length (AL) and spherical equivalent cycloplegic auto refraction (SECAR). RESULTS At baseline, there was no significant difference in SAR between the two study groups (ΔSAR = -0.039, p = 0.84). At 1 week, mean SAR of the Test group was significantly less than for the Control group (ΔSAR = -0.203, p < 0.0001), an effect that persisted to 1 year (ΔSAR = -0.129, p < 0.0001). In the Test group, greater SAR was associated with less change in AL (regression coefficient: -0.59 mm, p < 0.0001) and SECAR (regression coefficient: 1.12 D, p = 0.006) at 1 year. In the Control group, associations between SAR and change in AL and SECAR were not statistically significant. Compared to the Control group, eyes of the Test group appeared to be more exophoric with study lenses, however, the difference between the two groups was only significant at 1 week for distance phoria and 1 year for near phoria. CONCLUSION The soft contact lens with +SA for controlling myopia progression resulted in an apparent decrease in mean accommodation. Within the Test group, reduced accommodative response correlated with greater myopia progression, suggesting some subjects in the Test group utilised the +SA for near viewing, inducing hyperopic defocus at the retina. Accordingly, the potential impact of a lens optics on accommodative function should be considered during design of myopia control lenses.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the changes in the accommodative response and in the corneal and internal spherical aberration during 3 months of wear of orthokeratology lenses from the baseline. METHODS Fifty children aged 8 to 17 were recruited for a prospective study and were fitted with orthokeratology lenses. Refraction without cycloplegia, high and low uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), accommodation lag, horizontal near phoria without correction, corneal topography, corneal, and total wavefront aberration were performed at baseline, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Data were analyzed by Student's t test for related samples, repeated measures ANOVA test, and Pearson correlation test. RESULTS The spherical equivalent (SE) before and after 3 months was - 3.33 ± 1.60 D and - 0.30 ± 0.46 D, respectively. Accommodation lag was 0.53 ± 0.38 D and 0.20 ± 0.33 D at baseline and at 3 months, respectively. A moderate correlation between lag at the baseline and its change between baseline and the 3-month visit was found (P < 0.05; R = 0.748). The spherical aberration (SA) increased for anterior corneal and total measurement, being statistically significant for all visits (P < 0.05). The internal SA decreased: - 0.105 ± 0.006 at baseline and - 0.196 ± 0.203 at 1 week (P < 0.05). No difference between baseline and the follow-up visits in posterior corneal SA was found (P > 0.05) CONCLUSION: The negative SA of the lens increases during OK treatment compensated for the increase of the anterior corneal surface positive SA, in addition to increasing the accommodative response.
