We are conducting a research study to find out if a new contact lens can treat nearsightedness in children. 

You can be a part of this study if your child

• Is 8 to less than 13 years old
• Needs glasses or contact lenses to see well at far objects
• Is willing to wear contact lenses

The study includes 6 visits over a year, and your child will receive eye examinations, contact lenses, lens fitting, and lens prescription at no cost.

If eligible, you will be compensated $250 at the completion of the study for your time and participation.
