In order to decelerate the growth of myopia in children and adolescents and reduce the risks of associated eye complications, extensive research has been conducted on preventive measures, including optical, behavioral, and pharmaceutical interventions. Spectacle lenses, due to their safety, convenience, and high patient compliance, stand out as the most common method for correcting refractive errors compared to other interventions. As far as we know, various forms of spectacle lenses are currently used in clinical practice, including bifocal lenses, progressive multifocal lenses, peripheral defocus lenses, defocus incorporated multiple segments (DIMS) lenses, highly aspherical lenslets, diffusion optics technology lenses, and violet light transmission (VL) glasses. However, a systematic and comprehensive overview of myopia-controlling spectacle lenses is still lacking. Therefore, this article summarizes the latest research progress on the myopia prevention and control technology of spectacle lenses at home and abroad, providing theoretical support for the myopia prevention and control effect of different spectacle lens technologies, promoting the application of related technologies in clinical work, and offering new ideas for myopia prevention and control.
