Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of multifocal contact lenses in slowing myopic progression in children with high myopia.
Assessment of myopic progression in children wearing multifocal lenses
Comparison of two types of lenses: MFSCLs and DIMS
Focus on children aged 12 and under
MFSCLs demonstrated notable efficacy in controlling myopic progression up to age 12
Both lens types remained effective in delaying myopia after age 12

Implication

Clinical evidence shows multifocal lenses improve control of myopic progression in children with high myopia, suggesting their lasting effect.

Abstract

Both MFSCLs and DIMS have demonstrated efficacy in delaying myopic progression in children with high myopia. The MFSCLs will give children better control up to the age of 12; after that, they remain a good option.
