What Is Myopia?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. In children, myopia often progresses as they grow because the eye continues to lengthen.

Higher levels of myopia increase the lifetime risk of eye conditions such as:

  • Retinal detachment
  • Glaucoma
  • Cataracts
  • Myopic macular degeneration

Early intervention can help slow this progression and protect your child’s long-term vision.

Support Healthy Vision with MiSight

Traditional contact lenses and glasses do a great job of making vision clear again—but today’s children need more. Whether or not your child complains about not being able to see objects at a distance, such as the board at the front of their classroom, they might have a condition called myopia. Myopia, of which the primary symptom is nearsightedness, is irreversible and often gets worse, especially during a child’s growing years. As a child’s myopia gets worse, it can impact their future eye health.

80% of classroom learning is visual. Make an eye appointment for your child before school starts and ask how MiSight 1 day soft contact lenses may slow the progression of nearsightedness in age-appropriate children. Your child’s vision is important to their success in school.

MiSight 1 day contact lenses are the first and only FDA-approved product to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8 to 12 at the initiation of treatment.

Don’t wait. Call us today to schedule a comprehensive eye exam.

Stellest™ Lenses

Innovative Glasses Designed to Slow Myopia Progression

Stellest™ lenses are specially designed eyeglass lenses that provide clear vision while helping slow the progression of myopia in children.

Unlike traditional glasses that only correct blurry vision, Stellest lenses use advanced lens technology to help manage the signals that contribute to eye growth.

Benefits of Stellest Lenses

  • Comfortable, everyday eyeglasses
  • Clear vision at all distances
  • Non-invasive treatment
  • Easy for children to adapt to

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Clear Vision Without Glasses During the Day

Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, uses specially designed rigid contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the front surface of the eye while your child sleeps.

When the lenses are removed each morning, your child can enjoy clear vision throughout the day without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses.

Benefits of Ortho-K

  • Clear daytime vision without glasses
  • Helps slow myopia progression
  • Great for sports and active lifestyles
  • Non-surgical and reversible
  • Safe for many children and teens

Our doctors carefully monitor every Ortho-K patient to ensure healthy eyes and optimal vision.

Low-Dose Atropine Therapy

Simple Eye Drops to Help Slow Myopia

Low-dose atropine eye drops are a proven treatment that can help slow the progression of myopia in many children.

The drops are typically used once each evening and work by helping reduce the signals that cause excessive eye growth.

Benefits of Low-Dose Atropine

  • Easy once-daily treatment
  • Minimal impact on daily activities
  • Well tolerated by most children
  • Can be used alone or combined with other treatments

Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor your child’s vision and adjust treatment as needed.
