Purpose: The aim was to compare vision correction wearing time between myopic children and teenagers in a clinical trial of contact lenses and spectacles.

Methods: Parents of subjects in the Adolescent and Child Health Initiative for Vision Empowerment (ACHIEVE) study provided wearing times for spectacle and contact lens wear. Hours wearing primary correction and total correction were compared between the two treatment groups. Other factors hypothesised to be associated with wearing time were analysed.

Total correction time was slightly higher for the contact lens wearers, 97.5 hours per week, after accounting for time wearing spectacles. Higher refract...
