Myopia control is the use of specific treatments to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. We utilize soft multifocal contact lenses as our main treatment options for myopia control.

INITIAL EXAMINATION & CONSULTATION
A comprehensive eye exam is needed to evaluate your candidacy by reviewing your prescription, eye health and review risk factors for myopia progression such as any diopter changes in prescription, age, family history of nearsightedness in order to determine if you are a good candidate for myopia control. If our optometrists find that you may be a good candidate for myopia control, we will then schedule an initial fitting appointment.

INITIAL FITTING & TRAINING
Your optometrist will dilate you in order to obtain an accurate prescription and then choose and evaluate the right set of contact lenses and prescription for you and assess for proper fitting of the lenses and visual acuity. Our technicians will also train you on how to properly insert, remove and clean the contacts. This appointment may take at least an hour.

CONTACT LENS TRIAL PERIOD
We will reassess the fit and vision of your contact lenses after finding the proper lenses right for your eyes. The prescription may be finalized at this point.

MYOPIA MANAGEMENT VISITS
Numerous follow-up visits will be determined by your optometrist to reevaluate the progression of myopia throughout the year.
