Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses provide clear, comfortable vision with relatively few ocular health risks and are a standard management option for correcting nearsightedness. While RGP contact lenses are used to correct myopic refractive error, they may also slow the progression of myopia. A definitive study that could provide guidance regarding the effects of rigid gas permeable contact lenses on myopia (nearsightedness) progression may define the standard of care for slowing the progression of myopia in young children.
