What is Myopia Management?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a refractive condition that occurs when the front of the cornea is too long, making it hard to focus on distant objects.
Myopia is very common in children, but not without concern. Glasses can correct vision, but they won’t stop the eye from getting longer or myopia from getting worse. When left untreated, myopia doesn’t just lead to faster prescription changes and more eyewear: it creates a greater risk of eye disease later in life.
Thankfully, our myopia management can help children’s eyes develop, slow myopia’s progression, improve vision, and let your kids focus on school, sports, and socializing!
At each of our sister practices – La Paz Optometric Center, Mission Viejo Optometric Center, North Tustin Ave Optometric Center, and Brookhurst Optometric Center – your children will receive dedicated care from passionate eye professionals who can’t wait to help improve their sight. We’ll keep you informed about your child’s eyes and their health, and create a custom plan suited to their hobbies and personal responsibility.
We offer ongoing, in-depth monitoring to ensure that our myopia control is delivering the best outcomes. Patient experience is everything to us: you can rest assured that your child’s myopia management will be as comfortable as it is life-changing!
Slowing Myopia Progression with Essilor® Stellest® Lenses
When it comes to your child’s vision, every year matters. That’s why we offer Essilor® Stellest® lenses. These advanced spectacle lenses are clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia in children. These FDA-authorized lenses correct nearsightedness like regular glasses while also helping slow how quickly your child’s vision worsens over time. This supports both their current vision and long-term eye health.
For families looking for a comfortable and effective option that fits easily into daily life, Stellest® lenses offer a smart solution. They look just like standard eyeglasses but quietly work behind the scenes to help preserve your child’s sight. With this advanced technology, we can help reduce the need for frequent prescription changes so your child can focus on learning, playing, and enjoying the moments that matter most.
Take back clear vision with Ortho-K, our primary treatment method for myopia. Ortho-K is a special type of contact lens that gently reshapes the eyes while your child sleeps. This gives them clearer vision the next day and counteracts unhealthy eye growth.
Over time, Ortho-K prevents a large amount of eyeball lengthening, hindering myopia’s progression. With consistent Ortho-K treatment, patients often find they require a lessened vision prescription, during the next day and into adulthood.
