Controlling Myopia: How Myopia Control Lenses Can Help Slow Down Progression

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is becoming more prevalent, especially in children. If left unchecked, it can worsen over time and lead to potential eye health risks. At Grace & Vision Optometrist, we offer myopia control lenses, a non-invasive and highly effective way to manage this condition and slow its progression.

What are Myopia Control Lenses?

These lenses are designed to manage and reduce the worsening of myopia by creating “myopic defocus.” This technique helps to regulate eye growth while maintaining clear vision. Myopia control lenses are a safe option for children and are proven to slow myopia progression by up to 67%, similar to other advanced treatments like orthokeratology or atropine eye drops.

Children between 5-15 years of age with myopia are the ideal candidates, particularly those who experience fast myopia progression. These lenses are suitable for prescriptions between 0.00D to -10.00D and astigmatism up to -4.00DC.
