Myopia Management for Children

More Than Just Glasses

Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common in children. While glasses help children see clearly, they do not slow the progression of myopia. As myopia worsens, the risk of eye diseases later in life—including retinal detachment, glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration, and cataracts—increases.

At Avant Eyes Optometry, we offer proven myopia management treatments designed to slow progression and help protect your child's long-term vision.

Is My Child a Candidate?

Your child may benefit from myopia management if they:

• Need stronger glasses every year

• Developed myopia at a young age

• Have one or both parents who are nearsighted

• Spend significant time on screens or near work

Our Myopia Control Options

MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses (FDA Approved)

The first FDA-approved contact lens specifically designed to slow myopia progression in children. These daily disposable lenses provide clear vision while helping reduce the rate of worsening nearsightedness.

Stellest® Lenses (FDA Approved)

Specialized spectacle lenses that provide clear vision while helping slow eye growth, the primary cause of myopia progression. A great option for children who prefer glasses over contact lenses.

Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops

Prescription eye drops used nightly to help slow myopia progression. Atropine is often used alone or in combination with other treatments depending on your child's needs.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Every child is different. We evaluate your child's prescription, age, rate of progression, lifestyle, and eye growth measurements to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy.

The earlier myopia is detected and treated, the better the opportunity to slow its progression and protect long-term eye health.
