ABSTRACT:
Contact lenses and methods for preventing or slowing progression of myopia are described. The contact lenses include a vision correction area and a myopic defocus area. Various examples of the contact lenses are described. Methods include providing the present contact lenses, or applying one or more of the contact lenses to an eye or eyes of a person. The contact lenses and methods are particularly useful in children.
