title: Comparison of accommodation with rigid and flexible contact lenses.
abstract: Measurements were made of the amplitude of accommodation for myopes wearing spectacles, rigid contact lenses, and flexible contact lenses. Both forms of contact lenses placed greater accommodative requirements on the myope than did spectacle correction, but no significant difference was found between the 2 types of contact lenses in this respect.
