Investigators at Ohio State College of Optometry are recruiting children for a research study to determine whether a combination treatment of soft bifocal contact lenses (typically used to help people older than 40 see up close) and low dose atropine eye drops (typically used to dilate the pupil) slows the progression of nearsightedness — difficulty seeing far away.
