It is a range of treatments (specialized glasses or contact lenses) designed to slow down the progression of short-sightedness in children and young adults.
There’s no guaranteed “cure,” but with myopia management, we can significantly slow its progression and reduce long-term risks.
Most effective in children and teenagers whose eyes are still growing — but young adults with progressing myopia can also benefit.
Typically every 6–12 months to monitor eye growth and adjust treatment if needed.
It uses specialized lenses and lifestyle guidance to slow the physical elongation of a child's eye. This prevents their prescription from worsening rapidly.
No, it cannot "shorten" an eye that has already grown. However, it is clinically proven to significantly slow progression and protect future eye health.
Ideally as soon as myopia is diagnosed, typically between ages 6 and 14. This is when the eye grows fastest, and treatment is most effective.
Yes, modern soft lenses and Ortho-K are safe and easy for children to handle. Studies show kids as young as eight can manage lens hygiene successfully.
Yes, due to advanced lens technology and frequent monitoring. We offer monthly plans to make these essential treatments more manageable for families.
Slowing myopia progression is not just a lower prescription; it reduces the long-term risk of serious eye conditions like retinal detachment and glaucoma.
We offer the latest evidence-based solutions, including MiSight 1-day contact lenses and specialized spectacle lenses designed to manage myopia progression.
Standard eye tests are covered, but specialized Myopia Management treatments are typically private, fee-based services.
Costs vary by treatment (lenses vs. drops) and are often structured as a monthly subscription for ongoing care.
We advocate for the 20-20-20 rule to reduce near-work strain, alongside increasing outdoor time.
It often stabilizes in the late teens or early 20s, but early intervention is key to keeping the final prescription low.
The eye; specifically, the eyeball elongates (grows too long), causing light to focus in front of the retina.
No, physical elongation of the eye cannot be reversed naturally, but its progression can be slowed with treatment.
While you cannot "cure" it naturally, spending more time outdoors can help inhibit the eye's axial growth.
It is a combination of genetics and environmental factors, such as increased near work and lack of outdoor light.
Prolonged near work (like screens) is a significant risk factor for the progression of short-sightedness in children.
Lack of outdoor time and excessive, uninterrupted close-up tasks (reading/devices) are primary contributing habits.
