Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Global Self-Worth Scale from the Self-Perception Profile for Children [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Five other scales from the Self-Perception Profile for Children [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in cycloplegic autorefraction [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in axial length, measured by A-scan ultrasound [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in corneal curvature, measured by Grand Seiko WR-5100K autokeratometer [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Contact Lens
Soft contact lenses
 Device: Soft contact lenses
Daily wear soft contact lenses disposed of daily or biweekly
Other Name: 1 Day Acuvue or Acuvue 2 contact lenses
Active Comparator: Spectacle
Spectacles
 Device: Spectacle
Spectacles for the treatment of myopia
Other Name: Children chose their own frames.

Detailed Description:

Eight to eleven year old children will be randomly assigned to wear spectacles or soft contact lenses. The children's self-perceptions will be measured at baseline and every six months. We will compare the change in self-perception between spectacle and soft contact lens wearers over three years. We will also examine the effect of how much children initially like or dislike to wear glasses on the change in self-perception over three years.
