Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine if the 'Defocus Incorporated Soft Contact' (DISC) lens slows myopia progression in Hong Kong schoolchildren using simultaneous vision approach.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators hypothesize that the natural process of emmetropization in human is regulated by the equilibrium between the opposite hyperopic and myopic defocus. A sharp focus of retinal image (foveal fixation) is fundamental for co-ordination of the equilibrium. The DISC lens is a custom-made multi-zone bifocal soft contact lens which is based on simultaneously provides clear vision and defocus at all viewing distances. It comprises of correcting zones for correcting distant prescription(correction of refractive error, and defocusing zones to incorporate constant myopic defocus for slowing down myopia progression.
