Myopia Treatment Solutions at The Eye Center

Myopia control refers to treatments that help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teens. The goal is to reduce the rate of eye elongation and minimize the long-term risks associated with higher prescriptions. Each child’s ideal treatment plan depends on age, prescription changes, and comfort with contacts or drops.

Our Myopia Treatment Options

Orthokeratology
(Ortho-K)

Ortho-K involves wearing custom-fitted contact lenses overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, allowing clear vision during the day—no glasses or contacts needed while awake. 

Ortho K

Benefits: 

  • Clear vision all day without daytime lenses
  • Non-surgical and reversible
  • Shown to help slow myopia progression in children 

Who it helps: 
Ortho-K can be ideal for children and teens with active lifestyles or those who aren’t ready for daytime lenses. The Eye Center offers leading designs, including Euclid Emerald®, CRT®, and VST®.

Atropine
Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine drops are used once daily before bedtime. These medicated drops help slow the elongation of the eye—a key factor in myopia progression. 

eye drops

Benefits: 

  • Clinically proven to slow progression
  • Easy, drop-based treatment
  • Can be used alone or with contacts when appropriate 

Who it helps: 
Children who are too young for contact lenses or prefer a non-lens option may find atropine eye drops a convenient solution. 

MiSight® 1 Day
Contact Lenses

MiSight® 1 day lenses are soft, daily disposable contact lenses designed specifically for myopia management in children. Their dual-focus design helps manage how light enters the eye, addressing a key factor in myopia progression. 

Mi sight contacts

Benefits: 

  • Easy, non-invasive daytime wear
  • Daily disposable for comfort and hygiene
  • Studies show more than 50% reduction in progression for many patients 

Who it helps:
