摘要: The present invention provides new methods and systems for treating myopia progression in myopic patients who also exhibit near point esophoria, esophoria at near, eso fixation disparity, or associated phoria by selectively prescribing bifocal contact lenses to such patients. Near disparity may include esophores, low exophores, orthophores. One method controlling comprises identifying a esophoric patient, measuring an amount of lens add power prescription. prescription is based on the measurement distance patient's eye.
