depends on the contact lens
MiSight is a good contact lens to slow down myopia
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
There are some types of contact lenses that are used for myopia control. You should have a conversation with your doctor to decide what the right option is for you.
