Summary
This study followed 248 children with nearsightedness who wore soft bifocal contact lenses for two years and then switched to regular lenses for a third year. Researchers measured eye growth, light exposure, and pupil responses to understand why some children's nearsightedness gets worse. The goal is to better predict who will benefit from these special lenses.
