Myopia control using a modified optical defocus soft contact lens in schoolchildren—A 12‐month randomised double masked control trial
DISC3.5plus lenses significantly slowed myopia progression and axial elongation compared with SV lenses for all enrolled participants over 6 months. The pandemic hindered longer term efficacy follow-up and sample size; thus, further investigation with more participants is needed to confirm sustained treatment effects.
