About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Myopic Progression focused on measuring Myopia progression, Orthokeratology, Replacement modality, Surface deposits

Eligibility Criteria

6 Years - 10 Years (Child)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Aged 6-10 years
  • Normal ocular and general condition and not on medication which may contraindicate ortho-k lens wear

  • Best correctable vision better than 0.08 logMAR in the worse eye
  • Normal binocular function and accommodative status
  • No prior experience in contact lens wear and myopia control treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Strabismus at distance or near
  • Contraindication for ortho-k lens wear
  • Prior history of ocular surgery, trauma, or chronic ocular disease
  • Systemic or ocular conditions that may interfere refractive development
  • Systemic or ocular conditions that may interfere tear quality and contact lens wear
  • Poor response to the use of study lenses
  • Poor compliance to test procedures
  • Poor compliance to the use of ortho-k lenses (e.g. use of solution, use of lenses)
  • Poor compliance to follow-up schedule

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The two-year prospective study aims at investigating frequently replacement effect on myopia control in young children, and the use of weekly protein removal system in monthly replacement modality orthokeratology lenses on surface deposit.
Detailed Description
In this two-year prospective study, low myopic children, aged 6-8 years, who have no prior experience in contact lens wear and myopia control treatment will be recruited. They will be prescribed with monthly replacement orthokeratology lenses for a period of one year. Axial elongation and ocular conditions during the study will be determined. Subjects will be randomly assigned to normal cleaning and intensive cleaning groups. Subjects in normal cleaning group will be provided with complimentary contact lenses solutions for daily cleaning and disinfection. In addition to the daily procedures for lens case, subjects in the intensive cleaning group will be required to perform weekly protein removal.

Model Description
All subjects will be prescribed with monthly replacement orthokeratology for a period of 12 months. They will be randomly assigned to normal cleaning and intensive cleaning groups on 1:1 basis. All subjects follow the same daily cleaning procedures and subjects in intensive cleaning group will be required to perform weekly protein removal in addition to the daily routine.

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Menicon Progent A+B
Other Intervention Name(s)
Menicon Progent Protein Remover for Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lenses
Intervention Description
Menicon Progent A+B is a commercially available protein remover for rigid lenses. It has received FDA clearance and been launched in Hong Kong for over a decade. The product contains two separate sterile solutions, one with sodium hypochlorite and the other with potassium bromide. By mixing the two solutions in a special vial, it can clean and remove protein deposits on the lenses. Parents of subjects assigned to use weekly protein remover will be required to soak the cleansed lenses in the solution mixture for not more than 30 mins every week. All lenses must be rinsed thoroughly with saline and cleansed with daily cleaner again before daily disinfection.
