Close Myopic children with intermittent exotropia adapt well to StellestStellest lenses have minimal effects on binocular vision in myopic children, including those with intermittent exotropia.Read Full Article Adult myopia progression linked to high sphere and astigmatism12.7% of young adult myopes progressed >0.50 D/year, with greater risk linked to high spherical equivalent and high astigmatism.Read Full Article APAO Showcase: The Latest on Repeated Low-Level Red Light TherapyThe APAO congress featured the newest research on red light therapy; here, we summarise the evidence. Read Full Article How 0.05% atropine alters accommodation and vergenceConsecutive use of 0.05% atropine disrupts accommodation, increases esophoria, and reduces the ability to counteract convergence.Read Full Article Predicting pre-myopia using screening data in clinicsA validated nomogram predicts pre-myopia in children using routine screening data, helping clinicians identify candidates without cycloplegia.Read Full Article Reducing RLRL intensity maintains choroidal thickeningLower-intensity red-light achieved similar choroidal thickening after one month, supporting further research into reduced-dose RLRL for myopia control.Read Full Article Atropine 0.01% and 0.125% similarly boost DIMS efficacyDIMS lenses combined with atropine slowed myopia progression more effectively than DIMS alone, regardless of high (0.125%) or low (0.01%) atropine concentration.Read Full Article Managing moderate to high astigmatic myopia in kids with spherical vs toric orthokeratology Toric ortho-k lenses showed better unaided acuity and greater axial length control than spherical lenses in adolescents with moderate to high astigmatic myopia.Read Full Article MyopiaX: a new blue-light therapy for myopiaThis new blue-light therapy targets retinal dopamine and melanopsin through ganglion cells, using a smartphone app and VR headset. Read Full Article CARE spectacle lenses slow myopia over 2 yearsCARE lenses slowed myopia by up to 0.44 D and 0.20 mm over 2 years in Chinese children, with sustained efficacy through year two.Read Full Article AAO Recap #3 - New research presented in BostonThis is the final recap of a three-part series on what we learnt about at the American Academy of Optometry 2025 meeting. Read Full Article Repeated low-level red light and ortho-k combined: first European dataCombining RLRL with ortho-k slowed eye growth by 0.23 mm in Spanish children, with 80% showing axial shortening after 12 months.Read Full Article
