Why Is Myopia Control Important?

Myopia typically begins in childhood and can progress over time if left untreated. Our focus on myopia control aims to address this progression, prevent the prescription from worsening, and reduce the risks of future eye health complications.

With effective myopia management, we can help your kids enjoy sharper, more stable vision, while lowering the potential for long-term eye health issues.

Common Signs & Symptoms of Myopia

Your kids can’t always express when they have a vision problem. You can watch them for common signs and symptoms, including:

Frequent headaches
Squinting to see distant objects
Eye strain
Blurry vision when looking at faraway objects
Sitting too close to screens

If you’re concerned that myopia may be impacting your child’s school performance or daily life, an eye exam can help determine if myopia control is the right choice.

Myopia in the Classroom

When your child struggles with their eyesight, it can make school and activities difficult—reading from a distance, seeing the board, and participating in sports can become more challenging.

Vision issues can create stress and confusion, and without help, kids may feel like they’re falling behind their friends. With caring, professional myopia management, we’re here to support your child’s vision and keep their eyes healthy for the long run.

Customized Myopia Control Options

We believe every patient deserves quality care grounded in our core values of integrity, hard work, and collaboration. Through our myopia control methods, we can help your children enjoy clear, healthy vision for years to come.

We’ll work closely with you and your kids to determine the right myopia control option for comfort and eye health. For patients with specific needs, we also offer customized combination treatments that blend different therapies to help find a solution unique to your eyes.

We know that understanding your child’s eye health is crucial. That’s why we focus on educating parents, making sure you feel confident and informed about your child’s visual needs and visual journey.

MiSight 1 Day Lenses

MiSight 1 day lenses are soft contact lenses that can help manage myopia in children. They are comfortable to wear and help correct and slow the progression of myopia.

Studies have shown that MiSight lenses slow myopia progression by an average of 59%

MiSight lenses are daily-wear lenses, so they’re low-risk for children—kids as young as 8 years old have shown confidence in handling these lenses. If your children aren’t fans of wearing glasses, MiSight may be their solution.

Ortho-k Lenses

Ortho-k lenses, also known as orthokeratology, are a non-surgical treatment that uses specialized lenses worn overnight to help gently reshape the cornea. When your child wears these lenses while they sleep, they wake up with clear vision throughout the day—reducing the reliance on glasses or contact lenses.

This treatment is ideal for active kids and teens who want the freedom to play sports, participate in school activities, or enjoy their day without worrying about corrective lenses.

Multifocal & Myopia Control Glasses

Our collection of stylish myopia-control glasses can help protect your child’s eyes in today’s digital landscape. Lenses like EyeZen can be ideal for students or anyone who spends extended time looking at screens, helping reduce digital eye strain alongside its myopia control benefits.

These glasses can provide clear vision at different distances, supporting young eyes as they grow.

Atropine Therapy

Atropine therapy is a researched treatment option for slowing myopia progression, especially in children.

By using low-dose atropine eye drops, we can help reduce the rate at which your child’s myopia worsens. These easy-to-use drops are a minimally invasive option that doesn’t require surgery or contact lenses, making it a great choice for families looking for a simple solution.

Specialized Contacts for Myopia Control

We also offer lenses tailored to myopia control, including Biofinity multifocal toric contact lenses and NaturalVue multifocal lenses. These provide precise correction for astigmatism while slowing myopia progression, giving our young patients the freedom to enjoy clear, comfortable vision without traditional glasses.
