The earlier myopia (nearsightedness) starts, the faster it tends to progress—and the higher the risk of long-term vision complications. Starting myopia control early can slow this progression before it worsens, protecting your child’s vision and reducing their risk of serious eye diseases later in life. Early action makes a lifelong difference.
Low-dose atropine eye drops are a safe, nightly treatment shown to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. They’re easy to use and well-tolerated, making them a great option for kids who aren’t ready for contact lenses.
Ortho-K lenses are custom-fitted contacts worn overnight to gently reshape the front of the eye. Similar to how a retainer works for your teeth! In the morning, your child wakes up with clear vision and no need for glasses or daytime contacts. Ortho-K also helps slow the progression of myopia, making it a popular option for active kids and teens.
MiSight® 1 day lenses are FDA-approved soft contacts designed specifically for myopia control in children. Worn during the day like regular contacts, they provide clear vision and have been clinically proven to reduce myopia progression over time.
