Peripheral contact lens in controlling myopia progression in high myopia children(PAM)is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial with three parallel arms conducted at Beijing Tongren Hospital. Chinese children aged 6-12 years with high myopia (spherical equivalent ≤-6.0D) and annual progression ≥0.75D will be enrolled. Participants will be randomized 40:40:40 to: (1) combination therapy group receiving atropine 0.04% plus soft peripheral defocus contact lenses; (2) atropine monotherapy group receiving atropine 0.04% plus spectacles; or (3) control group receiving atropine 0.01% plus spectacles. The primary outcome is change in axial length and cycloplegic refraction at 24 months. Secondary outcomes include changes in pupil diameter, and safety parameters.
