As the new school year begins, it's crucial to ensure your child’s vision is ready for the classroom. Clear vision is vital for learning and overall confidence. For children with myopia (nearsightedness), proactive management is key. At The Eye Center, with several locations across North Carolina, we provide innovative myopia control options like MiSight contact lenses and atropine drops to help keep your child’s eyes healthy for a lifetime.
Why Myopia Management Matters
Myopia is caused by the elongation of the eyeball. As the eye becomes longer, the structures inside the eye stretch and become vulnerable to sight-threatening conditions. Starting myopia management early can help slow or stop your child’s eye from elongating, reducing their risk of eye diseases as they age.
Myopia Control Options at The Eye Center
We offer a variety of myopia control options designed to meet the unique needs of every child:
MiSight Contact Lenses
MiSight contacts are a proven option for myopia control. These daily disposable lenses are designed specifically for kids and teens, providing clear vision while slowing down the eye's elongation. Comfortable and easy to use, MiSight lenses are perfect for kids and have been clinically shown to be safe and effective from age 8 and up.
If you're considering contact lenses for children, MiSight lenses offer dual benefits: correcting nearsightedness and managing its progression.
Atropine Drops for Myopia
Atropine drops are another effective method for managing myopia. Applied daily, these drops have been shown to slow myopia progression in kids significantly. Atropine eye drops for children are simple to use and can be a great non-invasive solution to help maintain their vision.
At The Eye Center, we offer expert guidance to determine if Atropine drops are the right choice for your child. Our skilled optometrists will create a customized plan tailored to their needs.
<div> Choosing the Right Option for Your Child
Each child’s vision needs are unique. Whether it’s MiSight lenses, Atropine drops, or a combination of both, our team will work with you to find the best solution. We provide children with the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond.
