What is Myopia?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error in the eye that causes distant objects to appear blurry. This condition occurs when the cornea — or the eye itself — is irregularly shaped. Myopia progresses as children age, which can increase the likelihood of them developing more serious health issues later in their lives. While glasses can correct nearsightedness, they won’t fix the underlying cause of myopia or stop it from developing. Instead, our myopia management program can slow down and even halt your child’s myopia from advancing, leading to healthier eyes and clear sight!
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.
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.
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.

Kevin FeusierJune 16, 2022.Always great service and staff here.
Lydia AbreuJune 12, 2022.I experienced the most amazing eye treatment from Dr. Frances Leung yesterday (on a Saturday). I took the chance in contacting their office and expected to just leave a message for a return call and was so relieved to be able to select the option for a return call. She called me within five minutes and scheduled a time for me to come in for an evaluation. She did a thorough exam and identified the problem, prescribed medication and I am now on the mend. I will forever be grateful for her expert exam, treatment and quick response. I would give more stars if I could, she is absolutely fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

MJ HendersonJune 2, 2022.My first visit to the office. Best customer Service and kindness experienced in a long time during what we've all been dealt with the past 2 years. Loved meeting Dr. Mitra and her assistant Iman. All at reception were wonderful and very welcoming. I'm looking forward to my upcoming surgery. Highly recommend! Now I've had my eyelid surgery. Been two months, no complications no issues. Dr. Mitra is exceptional. Would depend on her for any medical need I'd require.
