Myopia Management

Protecting Your Child’s Vision for the Future

Nearsightedness (myopia) is becoming increasingly common–but it doesn’t have to progress unchecked.

At Spectrum Optical, we offer advanced myopia management solutions designed to slow progression, protect long-term eye health, and support clear vision as your child grows.

What Is Myopia?

Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry while near vision remains clear. It often begins in childhood and can worsen over time–especially during the growing years.

Without proper management, increasing myopia can raise the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including:

• Retinal detachment
• Glaucoma
• Cataracts
• Vision loss

Early intervention is key.

A Growing Concern

Myopia is on the rise worldwide. Experts estimate that by 2050, nearly half of the global population may be affected.

Increased screen time and reduced outdoor activity are believed to play a major role–making proactive care more important than ever.

Myopia Management for Children

Children with myopia may struggle with distance vision, eye strain, or headaches–and progression can happen quickly without treatment.

We offer customized myopia management programs, including:

• MiSight 1 Day lenses – daily disposable lenses clinically shown to slow myopia progression in children
• Ongoing monitoring to track changes and adjust treatment over time

Our goal is not just to correct vision–but to actively manage how it changes.

Treatment Options to Control Myopia

Every child is different. We create personalized treatment plans based on age, lifestyle, and progression rate.

Multifocal Contact Lenses

Specially designed lenses that help reduce eye strain and slow progression by controlling how light focuses on the retina.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Custom lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts while helping slow myopia progression

Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose medicated drops used to relax the eye’s focusing system and reduce progression–often used alone or alongside other treatments.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Myopia management is most effective when started early. Slowing progression now can significantly reduce the risk of eye health complications later in life.

Take Control of Your Child’s Vision
