Effect of Diffusion Optics Technology (DOT) Spectacle Lenses on Choroidal Thickness

Effect of Diffusion Optics Technology (DOT) Spectacle Lenses on Choroidal Thickness and Choroidal Vascularity Index in Emmetropes

The objective of the study is to measure the effect of Diffusion Optics Technology (DOT) spectacle lenses on the choroidal thickness and choroidal vascularity index compared to control lenses.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Are 8-14 years of age;
• Are able to read (or be read to), understand and sign the assent document;
• Are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who is able to read, understand and sign the parental information and permission document;
• Are emmetropic by non-cycloplegic auto-refraction, which means both refractive meridians should be within +1.00D and -1.00D inclusively;
