Activity Outline

The patients we see in our clinics often fall outside the criteria for inclusion in randomised clinical trials (RCTs), so how can we be confident that the results of a trial will be just as relevant to these patients? Comparing data from both RCTs and studies in the real world give us confidence to know we are making a fully informed decision about the intervention we choose to manage our myopic children.

Dr Brett O’Connor will present the PROTECT (PROgressive Myopia Treatment Evaluation for NaturalVue Multifocal Contact Lens Trial) 1-year interim RCT data from the from Visioneering Technologies Inc. ongoing multi-national, double-masked, randomised controlled trial (RCT). Dr O’Connor will share the efficacy, visual performance and safety of NaturalVue as a myopia progression intervention.

Dr Emma Gillies will present a comparison of NaturalVue 6-year data published in Clinical Ophthalmology (2022)¹ and two other independent studies published in 2023^2,3  with the RCT data, exploring the consistency in the data in diverse study groups.
