For myopia control, several contact lens options are available. Here are the most commonly used ones:

  1. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): These are special rigid gas permeable lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea temporarily, which can slow down myopia progression.

  2. Multifocal Contact Lenses: These lenses have different zones for distance and near vision and can help manage myopia in children and adolescents by reducing the eye's effort in focusing.

  3. Bifocal or Progressive Contact Lenses: Similar to multifocals, these lenses provide different zones of vision correction, which may help slow myopia progression.

  4. MiSight Lenses: These are specially designed soft contact lenses with a unique peripheral design that has been shown to slow myopia progression in children.

Each option has different benefits and considerations, so it's important to consult with an eye care professional to determine the best approach for your specific needs.
