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® 1 day contact lenses are for children ages 8 to 12 at the start of treatment and are FDA-approved to slow the progression of myopia. They feature a dual-focus optical design that corrects vision while providing myopia control.
MiSight® lenses are designed to help slow myopia progression while also helping your child see clearly during the day, reducing the need for additional eyewear (in some cases, backup eyewear may still be recommended).
Introducing Essilor® Stellest® Lenses
Essilor®️ Stellest®️ lenses are FDA-market-authorized spectacle lenses to slow myopia progression in children and may help reduce risks associated with higher levels of myopia later in life. 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.
Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine eye drops may be prescribed off-label for selected children to help slow myopia progression. Potential benefits, risks, and the need for ongoing monitoring should be discussed with an optometrist. These eye drops are administered at night and work by relaxing your child’s eye muscles that often get stressed by myopia. In some cases, the optometrist may recommend atropine alone or in combination with another myopia-management option.
