隨著逐漸認識到近視對眼睛的負面影響,尤其是高度近視,大家對於近視控制/管理的興趣正快速提高。但面臨的挑戰在於目前尚未有任何被FDA核准用於減緩近視增加的隱形眼鏡,且尚不確定何時會獲得批准,因此在近視控制/管理的議題上,角膜塑型片與軟式周邊正度數鏡片皆作為仿單外使用。這意味著沒有公司可以推廣用於近視控制的產品,但Jeffrey J. Walline (視光醫師,視光學博士)指出,這不代表ECPs並不能與患者討論近視控制,因為有大量的研究顯示,在一些不同GP和軟式的鏡片設計上是可以減緩近視的發展[14]。這被認為在不久的將來所有近視兒童都將使用某種形式治療並非不切實際。在未來,他們最有可能使用隱形眼鏡或隱形眼鏡和藥物的組合。
