5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Modern contact lenses for myopia management aim to slow axial elongation by modifying the optical environment of the eye.

• 2

  Orthokeratology reshapes the cornea overnight to provide clear daytime vision while slowing excessive axial elongation.

• 3

  Soft myopia-control lenses utilize diverse optical strategies, including dual-focus and extended-depth-of-focus designs.

• 4

  Clinical performance of myopia-control lenses is influenced by lens design, fitting, and individual optical characteristics.

• 5

  Randomized trials show soft contact lenses can reduce axial elongation by 30-60%, depending on the optical design used.
