Asphericaldefinition

When white light is passed through a glass prism it splits into its spectrum of colours (in order violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) and this process of white light splitting into its constituent colours is termed as dispersion. The simplest way to explain dispersion is through dispersion in the prism.

When light travels from one medium to another, the speed of its propagation changes, as a result, it ‘bends’ or is ‘refracted’. Now when light passes through a prism, it is refracted towards the base of the triangle. The refraction of light through the prism is well illustrated in the diagram given above.

Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive spectacle lenses with highly aspherical lenslets (HAL), spectacle lenses with slightly aspherical lenslets (SAL), or single-vision spectacle lenses (SVL).

Splitting of white light into seven constituent colours when passed through the prism. Prism is an optical element which is transparent with flat, polished surfaces that refract light. Change in the direction of propagation of light when passed through a different medium is called refraction of light.

Conclusions and relevance: In this study, HAL and SAL reduced the rate of myopia progression and axial elongation throughout 2 years, with higher efficacy for HAL. Longer wearing hours resulted in better myopia control efficacy for HAL.

Objective: To evaluate whether spectacle lenses with higher lenslet asphericity have a higher myopia control efficacy throughout 2 years.

Main outcome and measures: Two-year changes in SER and axial length and their differences between groups.

Results: Of 157 participants who completed each visit (mean [SD] age, 10.4 [1.2] years), 54 were analyzed in the HAL group, 53 in the SAL group, and 50 in the SVL group. Mean (SE) 2-year myopia progression in the SVL group was 1.46 (0.09) D. Compared with SVL, the mean (SE) change in SER was less for HAL (by 0.80 [0.11] D) and SAL (by 0.42 [0.11] D; P ≤ .001). The mean (SE) increase in axial length was 0.69 (0.04) mm for SVL. Compared with SVL, increase in axial length was slowed by a mean (SE) of 0.35 (0.05) mm for HAL and 0.18 (0.05) mm for SAL (P ≤ .001). Compared with SVL, for children who wore HAL at least 12 hours every day, the mean (SE) change in SER was slowed by 0.99 (0.12) D, and increase in axial length slowed by 0.41 (0.05) mm.

Rainbow, aren’t they beautiful? Have you ever wondered how a rainbow is created? It is a simple physical phenomenon called dispersion of light. So, what is the dispersion of light?

Conflict of Interest Disclosures: Dr Drobe reported pending patents for WO2019166653, WO2019166654, and WO2019166655 (co-inventor). Drs Yang, Spiegel, and Drobe and Ms Lim are employees of Essilor International, which sells lenses with highly aspherical lenslets design and supplied the study device. No other disclosures were reported.

Newton was the first to conduct this experiment on passing light through a prism. He let sunlight pass through the prism expecting to see the white light on the screen placed at the other side but instead, he saw the spectrum of light after dispersion. He had a small hunch regarding the significance here but decided to do something else here to confirm it.

Actually, light does disperse into its spectrum of colours in a glass slab as well. We can see this if we observe it in a particular way. Before we proceed you should know something about refractive indices. They aren’t constant. They vary with the frequency of light and hence the wavelength.

Design, setting, and participants: This double-masked randomized clinical trial was conducted between July 2018 and October 2020 at the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in Wenzhou, China. Children aged 8 to 13 years with a cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction (SER) of -0.75 D to -4.75 D and astigmatism with less than -1.50 D were recruited. A data and safety monitoring committee reviewed findings from a planned interim analysis in 2019.
