Puntos clave

The study aims to evaluate how contact lenses impact eye growth and myopia development over four years.
Longitudinal design tracking changes over four years
Comparison between contact lens users and spectacle-wearing myopes
Measurement of eye growth using ultrasound
Contact lenses significantly affect corneal and axial length changes
Eye growth in contact lens wearers differs from that in spectacle users
Findings suggest potential for managing myopia progression

Resumen

ABSTRACT Longitudinal results obtained after four years show in a preliminary way the degree to which contact lenses affect the growth of the eye. as measured with ultrasound, and the development of myopia. Conclusions are based on comparison with a control group of spectacle‐wearing myopes.
