Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study consist of two phases;
Phase 0: The participant will attend a single Phase 0 visit where the pre-ordered single vision lenses will be fitted into the study spectacle frame and assessments will be performed.The study questionnaires will be completed 1 hour following dispensing of the Phase 0 spectacles.
The purpose of Phase 0 is to ensure all study participants have:
• A preselected spectacle frame to allow trial lenses to be fitted immediately into that frame at the start of each trial cycle.
• Adapted to the standard spectacles lenses which have the same base curve, lens material and anti-reflection coating as the prototype study lenses. The participant will be dispensed the single vision lenses and required to wear for at least a single day prior to attending initial Phase 1 or 2 visits.

Phase 1: At Phase 1 (Non dispensing phase); minimum of 3 to up to 10
visits- 1 visit per lens type.
-Each study visit (1.5 hours); non-dispensing lens wearing period of a minimum of 1 hour Study Visit 1 the study lenses will be fitted into the study frame and the assessments will be performed by the study optometrist. The study lens order will be non-randomised..
• Participants may trial multiple study lenses in Phase 1 with a minimum of 60-minute washout period between lens design assessments.
-Each participant may evaluate up to two study lens designs on a single day.
-The number of lenses participants receive will be primarily determined by participant availability, so long as protocol criteria is met (i.e. each participant must test at least one control and one test lens, and, each test lens must be tested by 10 different participants).
-The distinguishing features of the four test lenses relate to the magnitude, rate, and distribution profile of the peripheral power progression. All four lenses differ in this regard.
Intervention code [1] 319291 0
Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment
This study has 2 controls that are spectacle lenses which are dispensed by the research optometrist.
The control lenses are commercially available myopia spectacle lenses.
Control 1: Miyosmart manufactured by Hoya, Japan
Control 2: Stellest manufactured by Essilor, France
-The test lenses have a similar central optical design to correct the refractive error and the peripheral optical design differs in refractive power to the controls.
-Each participant will be provided with one passive control lens (single vision) and at least one active control lenses.
-Participants are expected to wear the passive control lens (single vision) for all waking hours, as a replacement of their habitual spectacles unless they are wearing a test lens in phase 1 or 2 (active control or prototype lens), in which case they will be directed on phase-specific wearing schedules.
- Strategies included participant questionnaires that probe compliance, history taking investigating level of compliance/non-compliance at every visit.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 325993 0
Phase 1: To compare the objective and subjective visual performance of participants wearing the prototype ophthalmic lenses to that observed with the commercially available lenses. The data analysis will be such that this is a composite and assessed using the Thomson visual acuity charts.

During the study visit the assessment process will be:
o Choroidal thickness and axial length measures
o Wearing of the allocated study lens
o Vision assessment
o A break period (to ensure a minimum of 60 mins between Choroidal thickness measures)
o Study questionnaires
o Choroidal thickness and axial length measures
o Complete study visit
2. Method of assessment of
a. Choroidal thickness: OCT imaging; Axial length: OLCR imaging
b. Vision assessment:
i. Objective measures: Visual Acuity (LogMAR), Contrast sensitivity (Pelli-Robson),
ii. Subjective measures: Vision Gradings (with reference scale provided), Participant Questionnaire, Dynamic Head Movement Test
3. Study-specific questionnaire
Timepoint [1] 325993 0
In Phase 1 after 1 hour of wear
Secondary outcome [1] 389792 0
The measures will be composite. To compare the ocular physiological responses of axial length and choroidal thickness of the participants wearing the prototype ophthalmic lenses to that observed with the commercially available lenses.
- Choroidal thickness: OCT imaging (Swept Source);
- Axial length: OLCR imaging
Timepoint [1] 389792 0
In Phase 1, prior to use of the ophthalmic lenses and 1 hour following use.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Age in complete years ranging from 18 to 35 years, male or female.
• Myopic spherical equivalent non-cycloplegic subjective refractive error between -0.50D to -6.50D and
cylinder up to and including -0.75DC
• Vision of 6/7.5 (20/25) or better in each eye with or without correction

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Have strabismus and/or amblyopia.
• Any pre-existing ocular irritation, injury or condition (including infection or disease) of the cornea,
conjunctiva or eyelids that would preclude contact lens fitting and safe wearing of contact lenses.
• Use of or a need for any systemic medication or topical medications which may alter normal ocular
findings / are known to affect a participant’s ocular health / physiology or contact lens performance
either in an adverse or beneficial manner at enrolment and/or during the clinical trial.
• Any systemic disease that adversely affects ocular health e.g. diabetes, Graves disease, and
autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, Sjögrens syndrome and
systemic lupus erythematosus. Conditions such as systemic hypertension and arthritis do not
automatically exclude prospective participants.
• Eye surgery within 12 weeks immediately prior to enrolment for this trial.
• Previous corneal refractive surgery.
• Known allergy or intolerance to ingredients in any of the clinical trial products.
• Currently enrolled in another clinical trial.
• Pregnancy*.
The Investigator may, at his/her discretion, exclude anyone who they believe may not be able to fulfil the
clinical trial requirements or it is believed to be in the participant’s best interests.
*Formal testing of pregnancy is not required. A participant’s verbal report is sufficient.
