Two Years, One Insight: How Lens Design Changes Shape Myopia Control
 Myopia progression in children is commonly managed using optical interventions, yet their effectiveness often declines over time. A two-year clinical study evaluated a novel spectacle lens design that integrates arrays of microscopic lenslets to control eye growth. The findings show that wearing these lenses consistently over two years significantly slowed myopia progression and axial elongation compared with standard single-vision correction. Importantly, the study reveals that switching between different lenslet designs after the first year further reduced eye elongation during the second year, even though refractive error progression remained similar. These results suggest that varying optical signals over time may help sustain the structural benefits of myopia control strategies.
