What is Myopia?

Myopia is a condition where distant objects appear blurry while near vision remains clear. It typically develops in childhood and can continue to worsen through the teenage years.

As myopia progresses, the eye grows longer. Higher levels of myopia are associated with an increased risk of eye health conditions later in life, which is why early management matters.

MiSight

MiSight®

MiSight® daily contact lenses are ideal for children aged 8 to 12 and use a dual focus design that reduces eye strain and gently corrects the shape of your child’s corneas. Not only do MiSight® lenses help prevent myopia from getting worse, but they also help your child see clearly during the day, eliminating the need for additional eyewear.

Introducing Essilor® Stellest® Lenses

The first and only FDA market authorized spectacle lens to slow myopia progression in children and reduce the risk of future eye health problems. The younger a child develops nearsightedness, the further it evolves and the stronger it becomes. You can correct and slow your child’s myopia progression with Essilor®️ Stellest®️ lenses. Today, most myopic children wear standard ophthalmic lenses, which only correct nearsightedness. Essilor®️ Stellest®️ lenses not only correct myopia but is clinically proven to slow myopia progression by 71% on average over 2 years.

Atropine eye drops

Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine eye drops are an effective and safe way to reduce eye strain in children with myopia, which helps reduce the condition’s progression over time. These eye drops are administered at night and work by relaxing your child’s eye muscles that often get stressed by myopia. Atropine drops are best when paired with another trusted form of myopia management, like specialty contacts.

Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) with Ortho-K

We use ortho-k contact lenses for Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) to allow your child to have great vision during the day without relying on eyewear. Ortho-K lenses are worn while your child sleeps and designed to gently reshape their cornea, so they wake with clearer vision when they take their contacts out! These lenses slow myopia’s development, and are ideal for kids who play contact sports or don’t want daily eyewear. CRT lenses are not just for kids but also adults who want another option or are not qualified for refractive surgery.
