Treehouse Eyes is a pediatric specialty eye care business focused on treating myopia (nearsightedness) in children.
Doctors new to myopia management often state that multifocal contact lenses slow down myopia by decreasing accommodative demand. These doctors believe there may be negative long-term consequences to a patient’s accommodative system when using these lenses to treat myopia.??This study?found this concern to be unfounded and that the lenses did not affect accommodative lag, amplitude, or facility.
