Protecting Your Child’s Eye Health & Vision
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry because the eye focuses images in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
Myopia is more common than ever, and it’s affecting kids at younger ages. While glasses and contact lenses can help correct blurry distance vision, myopia control is about more than clear sight today. It’s about protecting your child’s vision for years to come.
Our experienced team offers myopia control plans designed to slow myopia progression during your child’s most important years of visual development. It’s a proactive way to care for their eyes and support their future.
We’re here to help protect your child’s eye health and vision. Schedule an eye exam with us today!
What Is Myopia Control?
Myopia control is a way of managing how quickly a child’s nearsightedness progresses. Instead of simply correcting vision with traditional glasses, myopia control uses specialized lenses or contacts to slow down how fast the eye grows.
At Spectrum Eyecare & Eyewear, we offer options like MiSight contact lenses and MiYOSMART lenses to help manage myopia. Slowing eye growth helps reduce the risk of more serious vision problems later in life.
Complications from High Myopia
Myopia usually develops during childhood and tends to progress into the teenage years. It happens when the eye grows too long from front to back, which causes light to focus in front of the retina (back of the eye) instead of directly on it.
High myopia can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, which can permanently affect your child’s vision.
The earlier we start controlling myopia, the more we can do to help protect their eyes in the long run. Even small steps now can make a big difference later.
Our Myopia Control Options
When it comes to slowing myopia progression, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. We offer proven, kid-friendly options tailored to your child’s age, lifestyle, and prescription.
Whether they prefer glasses or contact lenses, we have options. Our myopia control treatments are designed to be effective, comfortable, and easy to manage. We’ll help you choose the option that best suits your child’s needs.
MiSight 1 Day Contact Lenses
MiSight 1 day contact lenses are daily disposable soft lenses designed specifically for myopia control in children. They correct vision while slowing down eye growth at the same time.
Kids wear them just like any other contact lens, but with the added benefit of long-term eye health support. They’re easy to use, safe for children, and ideal for active lifestyles.
MiYOSMART Spectacle Lenses
MiYOSMART lenses look like regular glasses, but are much more than that. They use modern technology to help slow myopia progression while still giving your child clear, comfortable vision.
They’re a great option for kids who may not be ready for contact lenses and are especially helpful for younger children.
The Vision & Learning Connection
Clear vision is essential for learning, both in and out of the classroom. Kids rely on their eyesight for reading, writing, focusing on the board, and participating in gym class or sports. When they can’t see clearly, especially at a distance, it can affect their confidence, attention, and academic and physical progress.
Myopia can make it harder for children to keep up in school or enjoy hobbies they once loved. By slowing its progression, we’re not just protecting their eyesight—we’re helping them stay engaged, confident, and ready to learn every day.
Take the First Step Today
We’re here to support your child’s well-being. We take a team-based, compassionate approach to myopia control. We’ll work closely with you to build a plan that fits your child’s age, lifestyle, and comfort level.
Your child deserves clear, healthy vision, and we can help them achieve that. Contact us to schedule your child’s next eye exam today.
