New Publication Alert! We took a look at highly myopic eyes (<-6.50D) while wearing single vision and dual focus lenses for myopia control. We found: Accommodative behavior was not significantly different in highly myopic eyes wearing single vision or dual focus lenses, however accommodative lags at near were larger for the more myopic eyes. Increased… Read more »

CORL Collaboration with the University of Houston
Dr. Pete Kollbaum and Martin Rickert had a fun collaboration with some colleagues from the University of Houston. A retrospective analysis of real-world clinical data found no difference in the annualised axial length (AL) growth between peripheral defocus contact lenses and orthokeratology. Further, the AL progression from this clinical setting was consistent with those reported… Read more »
Optical Characterisation of Two Novel Myopia Control Spectacle Lenses
Our article about Essilor Stellest and Hoya Visioncare MiYOSMART spectacle lenses for myopia control has been published in OPO: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/opo.13098 Key points: – Distance image quality in the two myopia control spectacle lenses was reduced by the combined effects of defocus blur from the lenslets and diffraction blur from the fragmented distance optic. – When… Read more »
Dr. Pete Kollbaum and Dr. Nitya Murthy Awarded Research Grant from the International Society for Contact Lens Research
Congratulations to Dr. Pete Kollbaum and Dr. Nitya Murthy for being awarded a research grant from the International Society for Contact Lens Research (ISCLR)! When asked about their project, the investigators held their protocol pretty close to the chest, but we could surmise that they are looking at the optics of myopia control lenses. Stay… Read more »
Accommodative Behavior, Hyperopic Defocus, and Retinal Image Quality in Children Viewing Electronic Displays
The prevalence of myopia and use of electronic displays by children has grown rapidly in recent years. We found that children viewing electronic displays, however, experience hyperopic defocus levels similar to those previously reported for other stimuli. Please find our research article in the current issue of OVS. The article can be assessed… Read more »
