  "summary": "Slowing myopia progression is central to addressing a growing public health concern. Myopia control spectacle lenses with diverse optical designs have been proposed for this purpose, and show varying degrees of clinical efficacy. Relating their design to their efficacy remains an open challenge. Here we show that it is possible to predict their clinical efficacy from their optical design, by…",
