Taking Control of Myopia

We love watching children laugh, play, and learn. But vision problems can get in the way of them enjoying life’s pleasures. Myopia, or nearsightedness, affects the ability to see objects in the distance. When your child has myopia, they could struggle in school, recreation, and sports.

That said, we can help control the progression of myopia in young children. Bringing your little one in for their regular eye exam is the best way to determine if they have myopia. From there, we can work with you and their pediatrician to manage their health and vision.

What Is Myopia?

As children’s eyes grow, their eyes can become too elongated, or their corneas (the front of the eye) can become too curved, causing myopia, also known as nearsightedness. The elongated shape causes light that enters their eyes not to focus correctly, making objects in the distance blurry.

A Closer Look at Myopia

Myopia can affect your children in different ways. Beyond blurry distance vision, myopia can impact their well-being, hinder their school performance, reduce their self-confidence, and even increase the risk of mental health issues.

More time spent on computers, studying, or reading, less time spent outdoors, and genetics can all contribute to myopia development. The good news? Myopia control can help. We offer MiSight lenses that can slow myopia progression, helping your child experience clearer vision that won’t hold them back.

Why Your Child Deserves Myopia Control

When myopia is left untreated, the eyeball continues elongating, which can make your little one’s myopia worse. 

If your child develops high myopia, their risk of developing eye diseases increases. Myopia control can help reduce their risk of developing eye diseases like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

Controlling Myopia Progression with MiSight

Diagnosing myopia early means we can work on a management plan to control how much your child’s eyes grow.

We offer MiSight 1 day lenses to help your children enjoy clear, healthy vision.

What Is MiSight?

MiSight 1 day contact lenses are a safe and effective way to slow the elongation of children’s eyes and minimize the effects of myopia. MiSight lenses send signals to the brain to stop the eyes from growing.

MiSight 1 day lenses can be prescribed to children as young as 8. The sooner we begin their myopia control, the more likely we are to slow its progression and protect their eye health.

Providing peace of mind for parents is important for us at Eye Lab. Extensive clinical trials spanning 6 years found MiSight contact lenses to be safe and comfortable for children. In fact, studies reported high satisfaction with ease of use and comfort. But the real win? An impressive 71% of children wearing MiSight lenses showed complete stabilization of their nearsightedness over a 3-year period.

MiSight contact lenses look and feel just like regular contacts but they use technology based on peripheral defocus to signal to the brain to slow eye growth.

Is My Child Nearsighted?

Protect Their Sight

One of the best things you can do for your child’s eyesight is to bring them in for regular eye exams. Even though they may not have complaints about their vision, their optometrist can identify issues that are going on inside their eyes. 

Preventing the progression of myopia starts at a young age. See if your child needs myopia control.
