Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Natural View Multifocal lenses, a soft multifocal lens, on retardation of myopia in an optometric student population. Close up work (i.e. reading, computer work, etc.) is thought to play a factor in the progression of myopia in young adults. The progression should be slowed if not stopped through the use of peripheral defocus lenses (Natural View Multifocal) to change the optics of the eye in order to focus the image on the peripheral retina as opposed to behind it.
