Myopia Control

Myopia Control: Help Your Child See a Brighter Future

Slow the progression of nearsightedness with expert care.

Does your child struggle to see things far away, like the board at school or road signs? They may be experiencing myopia, also known as nearsightedness—a condition that often begins in childhood and can continue to worsen into early adulthood.

Schedule an eye exam at VIVID Eyecare to explore personalized treatment options that can help protect your child’s vision.

Why Myopia Control Matters

Slowing the progression of myopia isn’t just about clearer vision—it’s about long-term eye health. High levels of myopia can increase the risk of serious conditions later in life, including:

• Cataracts
• Glaucoma
• Retinal detachment
• Even blindness

And with screen time on the rise and outdoor play on the decline, myopia is becoming more common than ever. Experts estimate that by 2050, half the world’s population may be affected.

How Is Myopia Controlled?

The first step is a comprehensive eye exam. Your eye doctor will assess your child’s vision and recommend a tailored plan. Here are some of the most effective options:

Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses

These special lenses have different powers in different zones, helping to slow myopia progression. Studies show they can reduce progression by 25–50% over two years.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Also known as Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), Ortho-K uses gas-permeable lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea. This non-surgical method can temporarily correct vision and may reduce long-term myopia.

Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine relaxes the eye’s focusing mechanism and has been shown to slow myopia progression—especially when combined with Ortho-K lenses.
