Corrigendum: Eectiveness of myopia control interventions: a systematic review of 12 randomized control trials published between 2019 and 2021. Front. Public Health. 2024;12:1460156. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.146015Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of interventions to control myopia progression. In this systematic review, the primary outcomes were mean differences (MD) between treatment and control groups in myopia progression (D) and axial length (AL) elongation (mm). Results: The following interventions were found to be effective (p < 0.001): highly aspherical lenslets (HAL, 0.80 D, 95% CI, 0.77–0.83; −0.35 mm, 95% CI −0.36 to −0.34), MiSight contact lenses (0.66 D, 95% CI, 0.63–0.69; −0.28 mm, 95% CI −0.29 to −0.27), low dose atropine 0.05% (0.54 D, 95% CI, 0.38–0.70; −0.21 mm, 95% CI-0.28 to −0.14), Biofinity +2.50 D (0.45 D, 95% CI, 0.29, 0.61; −0.24 mm, 95% CI −0.33 to −0.15), defocus incorporated multiple segments [DIMS] (0.44 D, 95% CI, 0.42–0.46; −0.34 mm, 95% CI −0.35 to −0.33) and ortho-k lenses (−0.24 mm, 95% CI −0.33 to −01.5). Conclusion: Low-dose atropine 0.01% was not effective in reducing AL progression in two studies. Treatment efficacy with low-dose atropine of 0.05% showed good efficacy. Spectacles (HAL and DIMS) and contact lenses (MiSight and Biofinity) may confer a comparable treatment benefit compared to atropine, to slow myopia progression.publishersversionpublishersversionpublishe

    Herbal molecules in eye diseases

    AbstractThe eyes are exposed to oxidative stress due to light absorption and the high metabolism rate of their tissue cells. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many major eye diseases, including ocular inflammation, neovascularization, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataracts. Herbal molecules, such as lutein, zeaxanthin, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and vitamin E, have been tried as ocular aliments. Although there are many positive outcomes for preventive or even therapeutic uses for ocular diseases, the efficacy remains controversial. Nevertheless, traditional Chinese medicine remains the best choice of herbal molecules mining for ocular remedies
