Nearsightedness is exploding all around the world. Kids are worsening at a faster rate than anytime in history due to factors such as increased use of devices, less time spent outdoors, and many other factors which have not yet been determined. Research is being done to find ways to slow progression.
There are new “center distance” multifocal soft contact lenses that have been developed which research has determined can slow or halt myopia progression in many young patients.
