An ophthalmic device for slowing, inhibiting or preventing myopia progression which is a polymerization product of a monomeric mixture comprising (a) greater than 50 wt. %, based on the total weight of the monomeric mixture, of one or more non-silicone-containing hydrophilic monomers; (b) one or more crosslinking agents; and (c) one or more red-light blocking compounds blocking greater than 5% to about 25% of red-light transmission through the ophthalmic device at a wavelength of from about 550 nm to about 800 nm, wherein the one or more red-light blocking compounds have one or more ethylenically unsaturated reactive end groups.
