“…Physical differences from others may affect peer appraisals and/or children may think that peer appraisals are influenced by their glasses (called ''meta-stereotypes''; Vorauer, Hunter, Main, & Roy, 2000). Four studies have directly assessed the association between eyeglasses and children's self-concept (Dias, Hyman, Manny, & Fern, 2005;Lyon, Rainey, & Bullock, 2002;Terry, Soni, & Honer, 1997;Walline et al, 2009), baseline results of two were reported in previous publications (Dias, Manny, Hyman, & Fern, 2002;Walline et al, 2006;Walline, Jones, & Prinstein, 2005). Lyon and colleagues (2002) studied self-concepts reported by children aged eight to fourteen and found no evidence that having eyeglasses affects the global self-concept of children, although this study lacked statistical power.…”

“…Lyon and colleagues compared children with and without glasses on several dimensions of the self-concept-finding no negative, perhaps even a positive effect of glasses-but, given their small sample of children with glasses, it is difficult to make conclusions. A larger, recent study (Walline et al, 2009) addressed self-esteem in 8-to 11-year-olds who received contact lenses or continued to wear glasses (Walline et al, 2007). Over a three-year period, children's global self-esteem did not differ, but children who wore contact lenses showed a relatively more positive development in their self-perceptions of physical appearance and athletic competence.…”

“…Other studies found that 86% to 91% of children continue to wear soft contact lenses for three years. 17, 18 Therefore, both short-term and long-term adaptation rates are better for soft contact lenses than for GP contact lenses, although this study demonstrates that children can successfully adapt to and maintain GP lens wear.…”

“…15 Older children may elect to wear contact lenses for refractive error correction because they do not like their appearance with glasses or because their glasses are uncomfortable. 4, 5, 17, 18 Children are capable of wearing gas permeable (GP) contact lenses, 3, 4, 6–9 soft contact lenses (SCL), 2, 17 and corneal reshaping contact lenses. 1, 19–21 They are also capable of complying with a contact lens care regimen.…”

Purpose To compare children’s reports of comfort, vision, and contact lens-related issues in gas permeable (GP) and soft (SCL) contact lens wearers. Methods Subjects were 116 eight- to eleven-year old children in the Contact Lenses and Myopia Progression (CLAMP) Study. Aspects of contact lens wear were compared for children remaining in their original treatment group (either GPs or SCLs) for three years. Questionnaires were completed at every visit, as was visual acuity. Comparisons were made between the two groups using logistic regression or mixed linear models analyses as appropriate to examine the contact lens wearing experience. Additionally, children crossing over from GP wear to SCLs were compared to children remaining in GP lenses to determine the potential factors related to GP dissatisfaction. Results Seventy percent of GP wearers and 93% of SCL wearers wore their assigned lenses every visit. GP wearers wore their lenses significantly fewer hours per week than the SCL wearers (76.2 hours per week vs. 86.8 hrs per week, respectively, p = 0.003). GP wearers had statistically significantly better visual acuity though the difference was not clinically meaningful (p < 0.001). Comfort was poorer among the GP wearers using the Ocular Pain subscale (p < 0.001), but did not differ using a subjective question about comfort. Symptoms were more frequent in GP wearers than SCL wearers (p = 0.002), and were related to reports of discomfort. Significant factors relating to crossing over from GPs to SCLs were lower wearing time with GPs and itching. Conclusions Children are able to successfully wear gas permeable and soft contact lenses. Long-term adaptation occurred more frequently to SCLs than to GPs. The amount of time GP lens wearers are able to comfortably wear their contact lenses and the amount of itching may help determine whether they will remain in that modality.

Significance The Bifocal LensesIn Nearsighted Kids (BLINK) study is the first soft multifocal contact lens myopia control study to compare add powers and measure peripheral refractive error in the vertical meridian, so it will provide important information about the potential mechanism of myopia control. Purpose The BLINK study is a National Eye Institute-sponsored, double-masked, randomized clinical trial to investigate the effects of soft multifocal contact lenses on myopia progression. This article describes the subjects' baseline characteristics and study methods. Methods Subjects were 7 to 11 years old, had −0.75 to −5.00 spherical component and less than 1.00 diopter (D) astigmatism, and had 20/25 or better logMAR distance visual acuity with manifest refraction in each eye and with +2.50-D add soft bifocal contact lenses on both eyes. Children were randomly assigned to wear Biofinity single-vision, Biofinity Multifocal “D” with a +1.50-D add power, or Biofinity Multifocal “D” with a +2.50-D add power contact lenses. Results We examined 443 subjects at the baseline visits, and 294 (66.4%) subjects were enrolled. Of the enrolled subjects, 177 (60.2%) were female, and 200 (68%) were white. The mean (± SD) age was 10.3 ±1.2 years, and 117 (39.8%) of the eligible subjects were younger than 10 years. The mean spherical equivalent refractive error, measured by cycloplegic autorefraction was −2.39 ± 1.00 D. The best-corrected binocular logMAR visual acuity with glasses was +0.01 ± 0.06 (20/21) at distance and −0.03 ± 0.08 (20/18) at near. Conclusions The BLINK study subjects are similar to patients who would routinely be eligible for myopia control in practice, so the results will provide clinical information about soft bifocal contact lens myopia control as well as information about the mechanism of the treatment effect, if one occurs.
