Myopia Control
MYOPIA CONTROL
Myopia Control is the method of reducing the progression of a child’s near sightedness (Myopia).
There are many benefits of myopia control. First, with myopia control, patients won’t require as strong of a lens prescription over time. This means fewer glasses prescription updates and better natural vision.
Myopia control can also help to reduce the risk of myopia-related eye problems. People with severe myopia have an increased risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and myopic degeneration.
Myopic degeneration is a type of retinal degeneration that affects people with severe myopia. In myopic patients, the inner layer of the eye, the retina, can become very thin and frail, particularly the central portion known as the macula. The macula controls central vision, and damage to this part of the retina can lead to central vision loss
If your child has trouble seeing far away (nearsightedness, known as myopia), you can correct AND protect their vision from getting worse as they grow! Meet MiSight® 1 day* soft contact lenses specifically designed for myopia control and FDA approved* to slow the progression of myopia in children ages 8-12 at the initiation of treatment
Myopia, more commonly known as nearsightedness, is rising among children. The eyes of a child with myopia become longer over time (axial length of the eye), causing distant objects to appear blurry. If not managed properly, myopia often worsens as the child gets older.
