Myopia control soft contact lenses.

Wearing soft contact lenses can help children and teenagers feel more confident, satisfied, and active. Myopia control contact lenses offer the added benefit of slowing how quickly myopia progresses.

Soft contact lenses for myopia control come in several designs, including dual-focus, multifocal, extended depth of focus, and other advanced ring-focus options. Most have been created specifically to manage myopia in children and teens, although some were originally designed for presbyopia. These lenses both correct vision and help control myopia progression. Effectiveness can vary between designs, and full-time wear is recommended for the best results.
