Myopia Control

We offer several evidence-based myopia control options and will recommend the best plan based on prescription, eye health, lifestyle, and age.

Ortho-K (Orthokeratology)
Ortho-K is a process where the patient wheres specialized contact lenses while they sleep. These contacts gently reshape the eye temporarily, allowing the patient to go glasses and contact lens free during the day time. The contacts are specially designed based on a digital map of your eye which allows for an exact fit. The contact lenses are highly breathable GP contacts which allows for maximum comfort for the wearer during the night.

Our eye Doctor is passionate about Ortho-K because of its ability to promote the self-esteem of kids, reduce the risk of injury from sports, and reduce the progression of myopia. Ortho K is the process of wearing very specialized contacts that are based on a digital map of your eye at night. The contact gently shapes your eye, so that you can see without the aid of glasses or contacts the next day.

One of the big benefits of Ortho-k contacts is that they have been shown effectively reduce the progression of myopia or nearsightedness in children.

Atropine Therapy
Low-dose atropine eye drops are a simple, at-home option that may help slow the progression of myopia in children. We’ll determine if your child is a good candidate and monitor progress over time with regular follow-up visits.

Multifocal Contact Lenses
Specially designed multifocal soft contact lenses can help correct vision while also helping to slow myopia progression in many children. These lenses are worn during the day and are a great option for active kids who prefer contacts over glasses.

Stellest Lenses
Stellest lenses are specialty eyeglass lenses designed to correct vision while helping to slow myopia progression. They look like regular glasses, are easy to wear, and can be an excellent option for children who aren’t ready for contact lenses.
