1 Myopia Management Michael J. Lipson OD FAAO FSLS

2 Disclosure I am a consultant to Bausch and Lomb - Specialty Lens Products Division I am on the advisory board of the GPLI I have received research funding from: Bausch and Lomb Paragon Vision Sciences

3 Why Myopia Management? Myopia is a DISEASE!! Myopia creates risk of vision-threatening eye disease Glaucoma Cataract Myopic Macular Degeneration Peripheral Retinal Degeneration Retinal Tears/Retinal Detachment

4 Increased Risk Cataract Glaucoma 5.5x 4x greater 6.00D of myopia Myopic Macular Degeneration 40.6 x greater 6.00D Peripheral Retinal Degeneration 21 x greater 6.00D Retinal Tears/Retinal Detachment 21.5x greater 6.00D Source: Flitcroft 2012

5 Myopia Management Methods Courtesy JJ Walline 2016

6 Current Evidence-Based Treatments OrthoK Soft Multifocals Other Multifocals Atropine Drops (1% vs. Low Dose) Huang J, Wen D, Wang Q, et al. Efficacy comparison of 16 interventions for myopia control in children: A network meta-analysis. Ophthalmol 2016;123: DOI /j.ophtha

7 Mechanism of OrthoK Fluid forces Squeeze film forces Inward push force where lens curve is flatter than cornea Outward pull force where lens curve is steeper than cornea

8 Mechanism of OrthoK epithelium Mid-peripheral central mid-peripheral Epithelial compression Epithelial migration epithelium stroma

9 How OrthoK slows myopic progression Optical effect Creates relative peripheral myopia Myopic defocus Signals the eye to stop growing longer Change in peripheral refraction from hyperopic to myopic Not due to accommodation or change in central refraction

10 OrthoK Numerous studies show significant slowing of rate of myopia progression 40-60% less progression 75% show little or no progression Numerous designs of lenses Most designed to correct refractive error Designs fairly similar (reverse geometry) Worn only while sleeping Slowing of Myopia progression is wonderful SIDE EFFECT!! Si J-k, et al. Orthokeratology for Myopia Control: A Meta-Analysis.Optom Vis Sci. 2015;92: Lipson MJ, Harris JK, Lather HD, Niziol LM, Musch DC. Axial Length in Overnight Corneal Reshaping Patients: Large Case Series. Advances Ophthal Vis Sci 2016

11 Customizing OrthoK for Even Better Slowing of Myopic Progression Smaller treatment zone more peripheral myopia within the pupil Aspheric Base Curve creation of more peripheral myopia Wider/Steeper Reverse Curve Larger/Steeper ring of corneal steepening Testing of peripheral refraction pre and post treatment Challenging!!! Kang P, Gifford P and Swarbrick H. Can Manipulation of Orthokeratology Lens Parameters Modify Peripheral Refraction? Optom Vis Sci. 2013;90;

12 OrthoK for Refractive correction Vision is good 92% - 20/25 (6/7.5) or better Comparable to va with scl Good vision all day Increased Spherical Aberration Before More night glare (adults) not much with children After Lipson MJ. Long-term clinical outcomes for overnight corneal reshaping in children and adults. Eye Contact Lens 2008;34: Berntsen DA, Barr JT, Mitchell GL. The Effect of Overnight Contact Lens Corneal Reshaping on Higher-Order Aberrations and Best-Corrected Visual Acuity. Optom Vis Sci 2005;82:

13 Summary Studies Demonstrate OrthoK is an effective refractive option OrthoK is safe OrthoK slows myopic progression OrthoK is a viable alternative to: glasses daytime contacts LASIK.

14 OrthoK Advantages Disadvantages No correction needed during waking Must be worn regularly 6-7 hours nights/wk Optical effect always in effect Minimum wearing time of 7 hrs/night Significant slowing of myopia progression Careful lens care is essential Good record of safety Minor risk of serious complications Can start early age 7-8 Patients like it! Good Compliance

15 Patients Prefer OrthoK In a crossover study pts wore OrthoK and SCL (2 mo each) At study conclusion 69% chose OrthoK (90% for or less) 31% chose SCL (50% for m0re than -3.00) Lipson MJ, Sugar A, Musch DC. Overnight corneal reshaping versus soft disposable contact lenses: vision-related quality-of-life differences from a randomized clinical trial. Optom Vis Sci 2005;82:

16 Compliance with OrthoK Wear and Care Careful lens care with PRESCRIBED regimen is essential Compliance with PRESCRIBED follow-up is essential Must be worn regularly 6-7 nights/wk Minimum wearing time of 7 hrs/night Minor risk of serious complications

17 Quality of Life Studies Crossover study-orthok and SCL (n=65) 2 mo each mode OrthoK wearers report (compared to SCL wear) Less activity restrictions More night glare More self-confidence Less Worry Less dependence on correction Lipson MJ, Sugar A, Musch DC. Overnight corneal reshaping versus soft disposable contact lenses: visionrelated quality-of-life differences from a randomized clinical trial. Optom Vis Sci 2005;82:

18 Quality of Life with OrthoK high level of patient satisfaction following overnight orthokeratology. Hiraoka, T, et al. Patient Satisfaction and Clinical Outcomes After Overnight Orthokeratology. Optom Vis Sci 2009;86:

19 Prescribing OrthoK Myopia Control effect is in force 100% of waking hours Can start young Age 7-8 (earlier is better) Compliance is good Lenses never leave home Parents and children LOVE IT!!

20 Same Optical theory as OrthoK Peripheral Myopic Defocus Soft Multifocal Lenses Distance-Center Multifocal Worn during waking hours Less than 1.00 cyl

38 Prescribing Low-Dose Atropine Any age 3 and older Any amount of myopia or more Well-tolerated, very rare side-effects Patients not ready for OrthoK or soft MF Patients who do not want OrthoK or soft MF Can be combined with OrthoK or Soft MF Talking to patient and parents

39 Prescribing Low-Dose Atropine Prescribe 1 drop in each eye before bedtime Contact high-quality custom compounding pharmacy Send rx to pharmacy (Fax, or online) Pharmacy contacts parents for delivery and payment info Sterile formulation, delivered to patient Can be preserved or preservative-free (kept in refrig) Monitor rx and axial length every 6 months

40 Atropine Clinical Issues Low Dose Well-tolerated, very rare side effects Tapering If stopping, 1-2 month taper is recommended Every other night x 1 wk, every 3rd night x 1wk Question???? Can Atropine PREVENT myopia?

41 Atropine Rebound Rebound effect has been observed More rebound with 1.0% Tapering reduces rebound effect Minimal rebound with 0.01% AND tapering
