Changes in Eye Shape With Myopia Management Interventions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to study changes in eye shape of nearsighted young adults using low-dose atropine eye drops or soft multifocal contact lenses. The main questions it aims to answer are: * do low-dose atropine and soft multifocal contact lenses affect the shape of the peripheral eye? * are changes in peripheral eye shape from these interventions influenced by changes in the focusing system of the eye? Participants will: * have multiple different types of photos taken * have their prescription for glasses/contacts checked * have their eye health checked, including the use of dilating eye drops * be randomly assigned to use eye drops every night or wear special contact lenses daily instead of their typical contacts * will complete five study visits over the course of 12 months Researchers will compare young adults using low-dose atropine to those wearing soft multifocal contact lenses and to those using no intervention to see if using these interventions affects retinal shape.
