Contrast sensitivity and visual acuity in subjects wearing multifocal contact lenses with high additions designed for myopia progression control

In most cases, myopia occurs due to excessive axial elongation of the eyeball. Nowadays, it is possible to correct vision even in cases of high myopia using various types of spectacles, contact lenses (CL) or refractive surgery. However, a significant concern related to myopia is the increased risk of ocular pathologies related to excessive eye growth, such as glaucoma, cataract, idiopathic retinal detachment or choroidal neovascularization [1]. In recent decades, the prevalence of myopia has increased dramatically worldwide [2 –4].
