Visual Performance of School-age Children Wearing Dual-Focus Soft Contact Lenses
Background
This study explores how dual-focus soft contact lenses (DFSCL) affect the vision of school-age children.
Study Details
We conducted a clinical trial with 64 children aged 8 to 12 years who needed vision correction. These children were divided into two groups: one group wore regular glasses (single vision spectacles or SVS), while the other group wore MiSight dual-focus soft contact lenses.
Key Findings
- No major differences in corrected visual acuity between the two groups.
- Contrast sensitivity was similar for both groups.
- Children wearing glasses reported more eye discomfort (score of 89) compared to those with contact lenses (score of 79).
- Appearance satisfaction was higher for contact lens users (score of 92) versus glasses users (score of 70).
Conclusion
DFSCL provide good vision and enhance satisfaction regarding appearance, making them a beneficial option for children.
Value of Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are vital for developing safe and effective medical treatments. We need to integrate these findings into everyday medical practice.
