Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Axial Length (AL)

    Change in axial length (in millimeters) from baseline measured by optical biometry.

    Baseline to 12 months

  • Change in Spherical Equivalent Refraction (SER)

    Change in spherical equivalent refraction (in diopters) measured by cycloplegic autorefraction from baseline.

    Baseline to 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in Corneal Curvature

    Baseline to 12 months

  • Change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP)

    Baseline to 12 months

  • Incidence of Adverse Events

    Baseline to 12 months

Study Arms (2)

Device: Individually Customized Bifocal + Defocus Lenses

Interventions

Standard conventional bifocal spectacles without peripheral defocus design.

Active Comparator: Conventional Bifocal Lenses

Individually customized bifocal spectacles with peripheral defocus design for myopia control.

Experimental: Individually Customized Bifocal + Defocus Lenses

Eligibility Criteria

Age4 Years - 12 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Aged 4 to 12 years (inclusive) at the time of enrollment. Diagnosed with bilateral congenital cataracts. Has undergone bilateral cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
  • Time since cataract surgery is between 1 to 6 months (inclusive) at the time of enrollment.
  • Able to undergo regular ophthalmic examinations (including refraction, axial length measurement, and intraocular pressure assessment).
  • Parent(s) or legal guardian(s) are willing and able to provide written informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Presence of any systemic disease (e.g., metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, genetic syndromes, etc.).
  • Presence of any ocular disease other than congenital cataracts (e.g., glaucoma, uveitis, retinal disorders, corneal diseases, strabismus, amblyopia, etc.).
  • Previous or current use of myopia control treatments, including but not limited to atropine eye drops, orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses, or other myopia control spectacle lenses.
  • History of ocular trauma or intraocular surgery other than cataract extraction and IOL implantation.
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any materials or components used in the study lenses.
  • Inability to comply with the study protocol or complete scheduled follow-up visits.
  • Participation in another interventional clinical trial within the past 30 days.
