With childhood myopia on the rise, researchers at the University of Houston and Ohio State University have found that high-add multifocal contact lenses can slow its progression. Led by Dr. David Berntsen, the BLINK Study revealed that these lenses not only reduce eye growth in myopic children but also cause a thickening of the choroid, a key eye layer. This biological change is linked to slower axial elongation—the main cause of nearsightedness. Over three years, children wearing multifocal lenses maintained a thicker choroid and experienced less vision deterioration than those using standard...
