Diurnal variations in the thickness of the choroid have been reported in the literature , and, more recently, the role of the choroid has been studied with respect to its role in myopia (near-sightedness) progression. SightGlass Vision, Inc is conducting a multi-site, randomized, controlled, interventional study to confirm the efficacy and safety of spectacle lenses designed to inhibit the progression of myopia by reducing image contrast in peripheral vision. CORE is participating as a clinical site in this three year study which aims to compare changes in ocular length and cycloplegic auto-refraction in children randomised to wear one of either two test or one control spectacle lens designs; the CPRO-1802-001 (Cypress_SG) study. The sponsor is interested in conducting choroidal thickness measurements only at CORE's site by inviting those participants who have already been found eligible for the CPRO-1802-001 study to participate in this parallel study.
