Change in Choroidal Thickness of Myopic Eyes With a Myopia Control Contact Lens

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Myopia
• Interventions: Device: Myopia control contact lens

• Registration Number: NCT06636019
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital Augsburg

Brief Summary

In this study, the direct effect of the MiSight contact lens (Cooper Vision), a daily disposable contact lens recently approved in Germany for the treatment of myopia, will be investigated. The aim of this study is to demonstrate an increase in choroidal thickness due to the myopic defocus induced by the contact lens. The increase in choroidal thickness after 30 minutes of exposure to the myopic defocus induced by the contact lens will be demonstrated by measuring the subfoveal and macular choroidal thickness.

Detailed Description

The increasing incidence of short-sightedness (myopia) worldwide has led to the development of various therapies to control axial length myopia. The latest developments include contact lenses to inhibit the growth of the bulb length, which should influence the growth of the eye in childhood and adolescence by inducing a myopic defocus in the periphery of the retina.

In this study, the direct effect of the MiSight contact lens (Cooper Vision), a daily disposable contact lens recently approved in Germany for the treatment of myopia, will be investigated. The aim of this study is to demonstrate an increase in choroidal thickness due to the myopic defocus induced by the contact lens. The increase in choroidal thickness after 30 minutes of exposure to the myopic defocus induced by the contact lens will be demonstrated by measuring the subfoveal and macular choroidal thickness. In addition, the influence of accommodation will be investigated by measuring the choroidal thickness after 30 minutes of activity at near and far distance. One eye of each of 8 healthy subjects with myopic refraction from -0.5 diopters in the spherical equivalent will be included, with laterality (right/left) being randomized. The choroidal thickness is measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is standard in clinical routine. The examination is non-invasive and is carried out at three points in time: The baseline measurement is carried out before inserting the contact lens, then after 30 minutes of exposure and near focusing. A further measurement is carried out within a week after a further 30 minutes of exposure and distance focusing, so that the results are not distorted by the previous near work. In addition, the axial length is determined at each of the 3 measurement times using optical biometry.
