Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Lens wettability and subjective comfort of Euclid orthokeratology lenses with and without an enhanced coating will be compared in 50 children. Axial elongation will be monitored in pediatric patients who qualify and consent.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for children who are near-sighted and have healthy corneas. They must be willing to wear orthokeratology lenses and participate in regular check-ups to monitor the length of their eyes.

Inclusion Criteria

Have ocular findings considered to be within normal limits

Be willing and able to follow instructions and attend the schedule of follow-up visits

I am of legal age or have my guardian's consent to participate.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects with severe corneal irregularity contraindicating lens wear

I have a misalignment of my eyes or a 'lazy eye'.

I am unable or unwilling to give my consent for participation.

Participant Groups

The study compares two types of Euclid orthokeratology lenses: one with an enhanced coating and another with a standard coating, focusing on lens comfort and effectiveness in slowing down eye growth.

Group I: Euclid orthokeartology (standard coating) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Euclid Orthokeratology Contact Lenses are lathe cut contact lenses with spherical posterior surfaces. The posterior curve is selected to properly fit an individual eye for orthokeratology and the anterior curve is selected to provide the necessary optical power for a temporary reduction of myopia. A peripheral curve system on the posterior surface allows tear exchange between the lens and the cornea.

Group II: Euclid orthokeartology (enhanced coating) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Euclid Orthokeratology Contact Lenses are lathe cut contact lenses with spherical posterior surfaces. The posterior curve is selected to properly fit an individual eye for orthokeratology and the anterior curve is selected to provide the necessary optical power for a temporary reduction of myopia. A peripheral curve system on the posterior surface allows tear exchange between the lens and the cornea.
