A landmark five-year clinical study has revealed that spectacle lenses equipped with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL) can significantly slow the progression of myopia and axial elongation in children. Compared to an extrapolated control group, HAL lenses reduced myopia progression by 1.75 diopters (D) and axial elongation by 0.72 mm, effectively lowering the risk of developing high myopia (鈭�6.00 D or worse) by fourfold. These findings mark a critical advancement in long-term myopia management, offering a safe and non-invasive intervention amid a growing global vision crisis. With nearly half the world鈥檚 population projected to be myopic by 2050, HAL lenses may hold the key to preventing serious complications such as retinal detachment and glaucoma.
