I was diagnosed with myopia. Do contacts slow down myopia?

Contact lenses can help with myopia progression for kids. The contacts are very specific and must be fit and monitored appropriately
Certain contact lenses have been FDA approved to slow the progression of myopia down. This included MiSight Daily soft contact lenses and Orthokeratology overnight lenses. Ask you Optometrist which is a better option for your prescription and visual requirements
They can help with myopia ,but it doesn’t stop myopia permanently . Myopia has a progression up to 25 years of age , and then it becomes stable in late 20s
