Abstract
Growing incidence of myopia worldwide justifies the search for efficient methods of myopia prevention. Numerous pharmacological, optical, and lifestyle measures have already been utilized, but there remains a need to explore more practical and predictable methods for myopia control. This paper presents a review of the latest literature on preventing the progression of myopia using Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments Spectacle Lenses (DIMSsl), Repeated Low-level Red-Light Therapy (RLRL), and the combination of low-dose atropine (0.01%) with orthokeratology lenses.
