Myopia
Myopia Management, Winston-Salem, NC
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is an eye condition where the light entering your eye focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it. It happens when your eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, making distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects are clear. If left untreated, myopia can increase your child’s risk of developing serious eye issues later in life.
At IdealEyes in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, we offer myopia management services to slow down myopia progression in children and protect their vision for years to come.
Myopia management
While most people with myopia can manage their condition with glasses or contact lenses, there are now several treatment options that slow down or even stop the progression of the condition. These include orthokeratology contact lenses (a type of contact lens worn overnight to reshape the cornea) and Cooper MiSight® 1 day contact lenses.
MiSight® 1 day contact lenses
MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses are the first and only soft contact lenses FDA-approved to slow myopia progression in children ages 8-12 at the start of treatment. Over three years, children in this age group who wore MiSight® 1 day lenses experienced an average reduction of 59% in myopia progression.
