Oblique effects with multisegment spectacle lenses: 1. Images of a point object.
Article in Ophthalmic & physiological optics : the journal of the British College of Ophthalmic Opticians (Optometrists), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionMultisegment (MS) spectacles are intended to slow myopia progression by modifying images falling on the peripheral retina. Some published optical treatments of these lenses assume normal incidence of light at the surfaces, but images falling on the peripheral retina are usually associated with oblique ray pencils. Here, we model representative images of point objects produced by the Hoya MiyoSmart MS spectacle lens when oblique ray pencils are used.
methodsVarious imaging aspects of the MS lens alone and in combination with a suitable accommodating eye model for a 4D myope were evaluated using the Optical Design program Ansys Zemax OpticStudio. Configurations studied included object points at vergences of zero and -4 D, with the objects being either on the lens axis or at a field angle of about 30°. The effect on foveal vision of rotating the axis of the eye with respect to that of the lens was also considered. Images of point objects were described in terms of spot diagrams and fast Fourier transform point-spread functions.
resultsSymmetry and overall optical quality of images decreased with the obliquity of the ray pencils, due to the increased off-axis aberrations of the lens and the eye. Images of near object points were strongly affected by the level of accommodation: optimal retinal image quality occurred when accommodation brought the carrier lens focus close to the retina, rather than that of the lenslets.
conclusionsAttempts to understand why MS lenses slow myopia progression need to consider the way in which through-focus retinal image quality changes with obliquity of the ray pencils across the visual field and the possible effects of ocular accommodation.
