Managing Myopia in Children & Teens
Myopia control is a proactive way to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teens while their eyes are still developing.
Regular eye exams allow us to monitor myopia and recommend myopia control treatment options. Through treatments like MiSight 1 Day contact lenses, myopia control glasses, or Ortho-k, we can help prevent prescriptions from worsening over time.
Our team is here to support you in managing your child’s eye health and helping them achieve better vision for the future. Contact us to schedule your child’s myopia consultation today!
What Is Myopia?
Myopia is more than just needing glasses to see far away—it’s a condition that can progress over time, especially in kids. As the eye continues to grow longer, it can lead to stronger prescriptions and an increased risk of serious eye diseases later in life, like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment.
By managing myopia early, we’re not just helping your child see clearly now—we’re protecting their long-term eye health.
Why Managing Myopia Early Matters
Myopia increases the risk of serious eye conditions later in life. Early intervention plays a critical role in maintaining eye health well into adulthood.
As myopia progresses, the elongated shape of the eye can strain the retina, raising the chances of developing glaucoma, cataracts, or retinal detachment. If not caught early, these conditions can lead to permanent vision loss.
By managing myopia early through myopia control, we can slow or stop the progression, helping protect your child’s long-term vision health and reducing the likelihood of vision complications as they age.
Myopia Control Options Tailored to Your Child’s Needs
At Total Focus Northgate, we understand that every child’s eyes are different. That’s why we offer personalized myopia control solutions designed to fit your child’s lifestyle, vision needs, and stage of development.
The goal? To help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) and protect long-term eye health. Here are some of the proven options we offer:
MiSight 1 Day Contact Lenses
MiSight contact lenses are soft, daily disposable lenses specially designed for children. While your child wears them throughout the day, they work in the background to gently slow the progression of myopia.
They’re easy to manage and perfect for active kids who want freedom from glasses.
Ortho-k (Orthokeratology) Contact Lenses
These custom-fitted lenses are worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, allowing your child to enjoy clear vision during the day—no glasses or daytime contacts needed. Ortho-k is a great option for kids involved in sports or activities where glasses can get in the way.
Myopia Control Glasses
These lenses go beyond standard prescription glasses. Designed to reduce the signals that trigger excessive eye growth, they’re a simple, noninvasive way to help manage myopia while offering all day visual comfort and clarity.
