Myopia Control Contact Lenses for Children


Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common eye condition that affects many children. While it can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses, it is important to address the underlying condition as well. Myopia tends to worsen over time, and higher levels of myopia are associated with an increased risk of serious eye problems later in life such as retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic maculopathy.

That's why myopia control is so important. By slowing or halting the progression of myopia in children, we can help reduce the risk of more serious complications. One of the most effective treatments for myopia control is using specialized contact lenses, which have been shown to significantly slow the progression of myopia in children by approximately 50%.
