Contact lenses or eyedrop therapy?
Since not all children may be good candidates for contact lens wear, eyedrop therapy is an equally effective method of controlling nearsightedness. The special eyedrop is instilled into the eyes once every night.
Frequently Asked Questions
Myopia Control is a therapy that uses either an FDA approved contact lens or an eye drop therapy. It has been shown to slow the progression of myopia, also called near sightedness.
According to the National Eye Institute, 41% of people in the United States have Myopia. Some children are born with Myopia, but others may develop Myopia throughout their childhood.
People who have high Myopia have a greater risk for ocular manifestations of retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataract progression and myopic maculopathy. These risk factors increase as Myopia increases.
Traditional correction, like glasses or contact lenses, focus the light in the eye in a way that triggers the back of your eye to elongate during childhood development. By focusing the light in different areas of the eye, FDA approved MiSight contact lenses or atropine eyedrops halt the elongation of the back of your child’s eye.
Children as young as six years old can benefit from Myopia Control lenses or Myopia Control Therapy. Data show that kids younger than 10 years old who have Myopia have the greatest benefit from Myopia Control. Kids younger than 18 years old also show significant benefit in reducing myopia progression over time.
