What Is Myopia?

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects remain clear. It's increasingly prevalent among children today due to prolonged screen time and limited outdoor activities. If not managed early, myopia can progress rapidly and lead to serious eye health issues in adulthood.

How Myopia Control Lenses Help

Myopia control lenses are specifically designed to slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children. By subtly altering how light enters the eye, these lenses help reshape the way the eye grows—reducing the risk of severe myopia and its associated complications.

Types of Myopia Control Lenses

• Specialized Spectacle Lenses – Designed with peripheral defocus technology to slow eye elongation.
• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) – Rigid contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea temporarily.
• Soft Myopia Control Contact Lenses – Daily wear lenses that offer clear vision and long-term control.

Benefits of Myopia Control Lenses

• Slows Progression – Helps reduce the rate at which myopia worsens.
• Protects Long-Term Eye Health – Lowers the risk of future issues like retinal detachment or glaucoma.
• Improves Quality of Life – Ensures better vision stability during crucial developmental years.
• Comfort & Safety – Designed specifically for children with high safety and ease-of-use standards.

Who Should Consider These Lenses?

Children who have been diagnosed with myopia—especially if their prescription changes rapidly—are ideal candidates for myopia control lenses. Early intervention can make a significant difference in their vision future.
