Myopia Control

If your child has been told they’re short-sighted, it’s natural to wonder what comes next. The best advice used to be just “get them glasses”, and update their prescription in the future as needed. The good news is that today’s optometrists can do more than just prescribe glasses—they can help slow how quickly your child’s vision changes. With specially designed spectacle lenses or contact lenses, myopia control is a safe, research-backed way to protect your child’s long-term eye health.

By working with your optometrist, you’re giving your child the best chance to see clearly now and in the future. And it doesn’t have to start with anything more complicated than just wearing the right glasses. Research and our real world in-practice observations are that we are slowing down most children’s myopia progression by 50 to 67%. That is simply unheard of compared to only a few years ago.

We are getting similar results with Hoya’s Miyosmart and Essilor’s Stellest spectacle lenses and also Coopervision’s MiSight contact lenses. Reducing how short sighted your child becomes is also a health benefit for them when they get older. So don’t just correct your child’s short-sightedness.

Make an appointment for your child now to see how we can give them the best chance to see clearly now and in the future!
