Myopia Management 

What Is Myopia?

Myopia is another word for nearsightedness, which is when distant objects appear blurry.

Why it matters: Myopia often worsens as children grow, leading to thicker glasses, a limited lifestyle, and an increased risk of eye diseases later in life (such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, or myopic maculopathy)

Why Control Myopia Progression?

  • Slowing myopia can help preserve long–term eye health.
  • Reduces dependence on stronger glasses over time.
  • Helps protect your child’s vision and quality of life.

Goal: Keep the eyes healthier for longer by slowing down myopia progression during childhood

Our Myopia Control Options

Low–Dose Atropine Eye Drops

What it is: A prescription eye drop used nightly to slow myopia progression.

How it works: Gently relaxes the focusing mechanism in the eye, reducing the
stimulus for myopia to worsen.

Treatment routine: One drop in each eye before bedtime.

Benefits: Safe, non-invasive, effective for many children.

Considerations: May require ongoing use; mild light sensitivity or near blur are
possible side effects, but rare in younger children.

CooperVision MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses

What it is: FDA–approved daily disposable contact lens designed for myopia control.

How it works: The dual–focus optical design helps correct vision and signal the eye to slow growth.

Considerations: Active children aged 8–18 who are comfortable with contact lenses.

Essilor Stellest™Lenses

What it is: Innovative eyeglass lenses specifically designed to slow myopia progression.

How it works: Uses “H.A.L.T.” lens technology—hundreds of invisible lens segments create a myopia control signal while providing sharp vision.
