Down Myopia Progression
Myopia, or short-sightedness, affects millions of people and is becoming increasingly common in children. While glasses or contact lenses can correct blurry distance vision, they don’t slow the underlying progression of myopia. Left unmanaged, severe myopia increases the risk of serious eye health conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic maculopathy.
That’s why we offer evidence-based myopia management solutions. We’re proud to provide innovative spectacle lenses and MiSight contact lenses that not only improve your child’s vision but are clinically proven to slow myopia progression by up to 60%. This means fewer prescription changes and a lower lifetime risk of eye disease.
We’ll work with you to create a tailored plan for your child, including regular monitoring and adjustments as they grow.
