The rigid scleral contact lens with optical multi-focal design adopted in this study can focus the light in part of the optical area on the front of the retina to form myopic defocus, in order to delay the axial changes in children and adolescents with ultra-high myopia. In this study, RGP was used as a control, and a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial was conducted to verify the safety and effectiveness of multifocal scleral contact lenses for the correction of ultra-high myopia in children and adolescents.

True scleral lenses rest on the sclera and do not touch the cornea and limbus, leaving a clear area between the contact lens and the cornea.
RGP contact lens is designed from a special rigid hydrophobic material. Patients wear RGP contact lens to form a "contact lens-tear-cornea" system to correct irregular astigmatism, reduce aberrations, provide good visual quality, and control the development of the disease through mild "shaping" effect.
