Summary

This study looks at whether special spectacle lenses called Diffusion Optics Technology (DOT) lenses change the thickness of the choroid, a layer at the back of the eye. Researchers will measure these changes in 30 children aged 8 to 14 with normal vision. The goal is to understand how these lenses might help slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia).
