A Comparative Study on the Clinical Efficacy, Quality of Life, and Cost of Use of Peripheral Defocus Spectacles, Frame Glasses, and Orthokeratology Lenses in Myopic Children and Adolescents
The research project titled A Comparative Study on the Clinical Efficacy, Quality of Life, and Cost of Use of Peripheral Defocus Spectacles, Frame Glasses, and Orthokeratology Lenses in Myopic Children and Adolescents aims to evaluate different non-surgical myopia correction methods in children. It focuses on assessing the impact of peripheral defocus spectacles, frame glasses, and orthokeratology lenses on the quality of life, clinical effectiveness, and costs associated with each method. The study is a prospective cohort study involving 300 children aged 13-17 years with myopia ranging from -1.00D to -6.00D. It aims to compare the psychological, social, and educational aspects of these correction methods, alongside their costs and clinical outcomes over a period of one year.
• Children aged 13-17 years.
• Myopia between -1.00D and -6.00D; astigmatism \<±1.5D; best corrected visual acuity ≥1.0.
• No prior use of peripheral defocus spectacles, single-vision frame glasses, or orthokeratology lenses (meaning first-time wearers).
• Willingness to participate in the entire study process, completing all examinations, surveys, and cost recordings as required.
• Ability to maintain contact throughout the study, with a fixed address and contact information.
