Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effect of wearing dual-focus soft contact lenses (DFSCL) on the visual performance of school-age children. Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 64 children aged 8 to 12 years with spherical equivalent refraction between -0.75 D and -4.00 D were recruited in our hospital in October 2022. Using the envelope method, the subjects were evenly and randomly assigned to the control group wearing single vision spectacles (SVS) or the intervention group wearing MiSight dual-focus soft contact lenses (DFSCL) from CooperVision. Follow-up examinations were conducted once every 3 months. The corrected visual acuity, contrast sensitivity function (CSF), and the scores for National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Instrument-42 (NEI-RQL-42) were compared between the control and intervention groups. Results: =0.002), showing a 31.43% improvement in the DFSCL group. Conclusion: In addition to providing the normal visual acuity and CSF, wearing MiSight DFSCL also leads to better satisfaction with the appearance.
