    Pediatric Ophth/Strabismus

    In this presentation from Pediatric Ophthalmology Subspecialty Day 2022, Dr. K. David Epley discusses the development of spectacle lenses for slowing myopia progression in children. He reviews different approaches and technologies, providing an overview of each and study data:

    • defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS): MiyoSmart
    • highly aspherical lenslet target (HALT): Stellest
    • diffusion optics technology (DOT): SightGlass

    He also reviews the theories of peripheral defocus and contrast signaling, in addition to discussing progressive addition lenses and executive bifocals.
