What is Myopia Control?
As children grow, it’s normal for their eyes to change. But for many, that change involves Myopia, or nearsightedness. Traditionally, we just 'corrected' it with standard glasses. But standard glasses only help a child see clearly—they don't stop the eye from growing too long, which is what causes the prescription to get stronger every year.
That’s where Myopia Control comes in. It’s a proactive treatment approach designed to slow down the physical elongation of the eye. By slowing this growth during childhood, we can reduce the risk of serious eye health issues later in life, like retinal detachment or glaucoma.
Whether it’s the freedom of MiSight contacts or the simplicity of Stellest glasses, we now have the power to do more than just correct vision—we can protect it. Every child is different, and the best time to start is now while their eyes are still developing. Schedule your child's exam today to see which option is the right fit for your child’s lifestyle.
MYOPIA CONTROL
NEARSIGHTEDNESS
As children grow, their myopia may progress, resulting in a stronger prescription to see distant objects clearly. Myopic progression generally stabilizes when the child reaches early adulthood.
The MiSight contact lens is the first and only FDA approved program that can slow the progression of myopia in children.
For optimal results, this service is continued over several years, starting as early as 8-years-old.
