A. Many contact lens specialists agree that the use of GP contact lenses that are rigid by construction may slow or retard the progression of myopia (nearsightedness), whereas spectacles or soft contact lenses offer no benefit of this type. Scientific clinical studies are ongoing which will provide more conclusive data.
