Myopia Control

Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the eyeball grows longer than average, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in blurry distance vision. Glasses and contact lenses are commonly used to provide clear vision for individuals with myopia. However, in pediatric patients, the prevalence of myopia is increasing, and the need for effective treatment options to control its progression has become crucial.

At Elite Eye Care, we offer myopia control services to address this growing concern. Our experienced doctors utilize specialty contact lenses to treat myopia progression in children. Two primary options for myopia control are orthokeratology (Ortho-K) and MiSight® 1-day soft lenses.

Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, involves wearing specialized contact lenses overnight while sleeping. These lenses gently reshape the cornea, temporarily correcting vision and halting the progression of myopia. This non-surgical and reversible technique provides clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

MiSight® 1-day soft lenses are FDA-approved daily disposable lenses designed specifically to slow down the progression of myopia in children. These lenses are worn during the day and have been proven to be effective in reducing the advancement of myopia.

At Elite Eye Care, our dedicated doctors will carefully evaluate your child's vision conditions and need to determine the most suitable myopia control option. We will discuss the benefits and considerations of each approach, ensuring that you are well informed and confident in the chosen treatment.

By addressing myopia control in children, we aim to minimize the progression of myopia and reduce the potential long-term risks associated with high myopia. Our goal is to help your child maintain clear vision and promote their overall eye health and well-being.
