A member asked:
Do the hard contact lenses affect the speed of the myopia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effect: Well fitted contact lenses should be comfortable and the vision should be fine. This will not change the power of the eye nor the speed of the progression of the myopia if that is going to occur.
