    What do you use Children progressives for?

    Hi ALL!

    What do you normally use Children progressives for?

    I sometimes use it for
    1) Myopia control - even though studies have shown no significant relationship of myopia retardation in children (No potential harm to the eyes anyway, it's worth a try)

    Also, i read that esophoric myopic are more likely to have some sucess in myopia control lens. Any reasons why?

    2) Convergence excess binocular issues

    Need some feedback as myopia's an issue here

    We talked about this in a thread over in General Discussion a little while ago, you might want to check that thread.
    It was a little over my head, but one thing that stood out to me:

    When I was little, I was put in bifocals to slow my myopia. I wore them for two years, and the idea was eventually left by the wayside. If you put a myopic child in a progressive, they will not use the bifocal, but instead accomodate through the distance/intermediate part of the lens. Therefore, it does not accomplish desired result.
