They were age\u2010 and gender\u2010matched to participants from a previous study who were fitted with single\u2010vision contact lenses (1 Day Acuvue; Vistakon, Jacksonville, FL). A\u2010scan ultrasound and cycloplegic autorefraction were performed at baseline, after 1 year, and after 2 years. Multilevel modeling was used to compare the rate of change of myopia and axial length between single\u2010vision and soft multifocal contact lens wearers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty participants were fitted with soft multifocal contact lenses, and 13 did not contribute complete data (5 contributed 1 year of data).

The adjusted mean axial elongation was 0.41 \u00b1 0.03 and 0.29 \u00b1 0.03 for the single\u2010vision and soft multifocal contact lens wearers, respectively (p &lt; 0.0016).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Soft multifocal contact lens wear resulted in a 50% reduction in the progression of myopia and a 29% reduction in axial elongation during the 2\u2010year treatment period compared to a historical control group.
