We found that dual-focus contact lenses with a +2.00D secondary power are close to that expected to induce the greatest increase in gmfERG responses relative to a single-vision lens. Dual-focus lenses produced the highest DC and IC response amplitudes relative to a single-vision lens in the central 10° of the retina. This suggests that dual-focus contact lenses slow myopia progression by modifying central rather than peripheral retinal activity.
