Retrospective studies have indicated that myopic children with nearpoint esophoria experienced slower myopia progression if they wore bifocal glasses rather than single-vision glasses. A small, 18-month clinical trial also supported that finding, but the results were not statistically significant. The Myopia Progression Study was funded by the National Eye Institute to test more rigorously the efficacy of bifocals, compared with single-vision glasses, in slowing myopia progression in children with nearpoint esophoria. A secondary objective of the study was to identify other variables that might influence the rate of myopia progression. This report describes the design and methods of the Myopia Progression Study and the baseline characteristics of the subjects.
