Abstract

Purpose : Our group has previously reported accommodative responses in non-presbyopic adult myopes wearing multifocal contact lenses (MFCLs) compared to single vision (SV) lenses: accommodative facility is reduced; center-near lenses induce exophoria and produce more negative static accommodative response (M) than center-distance lenses; accommodative adaptation is unlikely to occur with long-term MFCL wear. This study compared the accommodative responses in myopic children wearing extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) CLs against a SV lens.

Methods : This was a prospective, cross-over, randomized, clinical trial where 16 children (age<18 years) bilaterally wore 2 EDOF designs (EDOFL/EDOFH) and 1 SV design. Participants were fitted with refraction-matched lenses and measurements began 10 minutes after insertion. Study variables included binocular high-contrast visual acuity (HCVA, logMAR) at 6m and 40cm; phorias (Howell-Phoria Card, positive=exo, negative=eso) at 3m and 33cm; accommodative facility (monocular: ±2 flip spheres, CPD) at 33cm. Static accommodative response was assessed with the BHVI-EyeMapper in a fogged state (+1D) and at two object vergences (-3D and -5D). Paraxial curvature matching of the wavefront aberration map over a 4mm pupil yielded the spherical equivalent (M). Variables were compared between lens types using a linear mixed model.

Results : Static accommodative responses (as gauged by M) were significantly more negative with both EDOFL and EDOFH designs compared to the SV lens at both -3D and -5D target vergences (range: -0.42 to -1.05D, p ≤ 0.004), leaning towards an ideal accommodative response. The SV lens was significantly better than both EDOFL/EDOFH for HCVA at 6m (-0.09 ± 0.05 vs. -0.06 ± 0.05/-0.06 ± 0.05, p = 0.004) but differences were not clinically significant. There were no significant differences between SV and EDOFL/EDOFH for HCVA at 40cm (-0.06 ± 0.10 vs. -0.04 ± 0.09/-0.08 ± 0.09, p = 0.56), accommodative facility at 33cm (13.1 ± 2.9 vs. 13.1 ± 4.3/12.6 ± 4.7, p = 0.634); phorias at 3m (0.56 ± 1.82 vs 0.06 ± 2.05/0.19 ± 1.17, p = 0.281) and 33cm (2.13 ± 3.81 vs. 1.88 ± 4.40/1.38 ± 3.59, p = 0.734).

Conclusions : In contrast to our previous findings with commercial MFCLs in non-presbyopic adults, EDOF lenses worn by children showed more favourable static accommodation responses than the SV lens, without compromising accommodative facility or phorias
