Specially designed soft contact lenses for myopia management provide clear vision while incorporating therapeutic optical designs that help slow the progression of myopia in children. Some of these lenses use multiple focus zones or specialised optical rings to correct central vision and create an optical signal that may help reduce the eye elongation associated with myopia progression.

These lenses are worn during the day according to a plan prescribed by an optometrist. Some designs are available as daily disposable lenses. Their suitability depends on the child’s age, degree of myopia, ocular surface health, and ability to follow the required wearing, hygiene and follow-up routine.
