Myopia Management

Slowing Myopia Progression for a Clearer Future

Your children undergo crucial visual development from a young age, and we understand that managing myopia (nearsightedness) early can have a lasting impact on their eye health.

Myopia is becoming more and more common and can progress quickly, which is why consistent eye exams are key. Myopia control can make a difference both inside and outside the classroom, and our team wants to help make a difference.

What Is Myopia?

We want to help parents understand myopia as they bring their children in for an exam. Myopia is a condition in which distant objects appear blurry. It is typically caused by the eyeball being too long or the cornea having too much curvature.

If myopia progresses to high myopia, it can lead to higher prescriptions and increase the risk of other serious eye conditions later in life, such as glaucoma or retinal detachment.

Myopia Management Throughout Life

While myopia typically develops in childhood and worsens through the teen years, managing it can benefit people of all ages.

We provide tailored solutions for children as young as 6 months, though we also encourage school-aged children and adult patients to seek care. Myopia management can help slow the progression and reduce the need for stronger prescriptions over time.

The Link Between Vision & Learning

When your child has trouble with their eyesight, it can impact their life at school and cause difficulty with reading from a distance, seeing the board in class, and participating in sports and other activities.

Vision-related learning challenges can lead to stress and confusion and, if left undiagnosed, can cause children to fall behind their friends.

With management options like MiSight lenses, we can support your child’s long-term vision and eye health.

MiSight Contact Lenses for Myopia Control

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

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, and children as young as 8 years old have shown confidence in handling these lenses. If your children aren’t fans of wearing glasses, then MiSight may be their solution.
