Myopia Management

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common condition where individuals can see nearby objects clearly but struggle with distance vision. While widespread, myopia is linked to serious eye issues that can impact vision over time.

Slowing myopia progression, especially in children and young adults, is crucial. Several treatments have been shown to help:

  • Multifocal Lenses: Specialty eyeglasses or FDA approved Misight contact lens designed to reduce eye strain and slow myopia’s advancement.

  • Atropine Eye Drops: Used to relax eye muscles and reduce strain, slowing myopia progression, especially in children.

  • Ortho-K: Special contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the eye, providing clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts.
