Three-Year Change in Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness and Area With Multifocal Contact Lens Wear in the Bifocal Lenses in Nearsighted Kids (BLINK) Study
The choroid increased in subfoveal thickness and area after 2 weeks of +2.50 D MFCL wear, which was maintained for 3 years and was associated with slower axial elongation. However, only a portion of the treatment effect can be accounted for by the choroidal parameters.
