Detailed Description
DIMS spectacle lens is a multifocal spectacle lens that produces myopic defocus images and corrects distance refractive errors at the same time.
Participants will be prescribed a pair of DIMS spectacle lenses. Their cycloplegic refraction and axial length will be monitored every 6 months over 2 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Cycloplegic refraction change in spherical equivalent refraction (SER) [Baseline, 1st year and 2nd year]
Cycloplegic SER (in diopter) will be measured using an open field autorefractor. Change in SER with cycloplegia from the baseline over a first 12-month period and a 12-month period of follow-up will be measured.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Axial length change [Baseline, 1st year and 2nd year]
Axial length (mm) will be measured after cycloplegia using a non-contact optical biometer. Change in axial length from the baseline over a first 12-month period and a 12-month period of follow-up will be measured.
