Myopia (Short-Sightedness) Control

What is Myopia (Short-Sightedness)

Myopia or Sightedness typically starts in childhood and usually requires glasses or contact lenses to see the details on a whiteboard or the TV, for example.

More children are getting myopia at a younger age – partly due an increasing amount of time spent on near – work activities, The younger a child develops myopia, the further it evolves and the higher it becomes.

Studies showed that high myopia may lead to severe vision impairment that can no longer be corrected through standard lenses. It can even increase the risk of future eye health problems such as retinal detachments and myopic macular degeneration.

Can Myopia be treated?

There are now clinically proven products available, in the form of contact lenses and spectacle lenses for glasses that can slow down myopic progression by up to 67% on average.

How does it work?

These specialized spectacle lenses and contact lenses are made up of a unique constellation of invisible lenslets.

This unique constellation of lenslets creates a volume signal into the eye that controls eye growth.

This signal helps slow down the eye elongation and therefore myopia progression.

MiSight 1 day contact lenses

This is the first soft contact lens proven to slow the progression of myopia.

A daily disposable contact lens suitable for myopic children as young as eight years old.

Clever ActivControl Technology, which as a dual-focus contact lens has alternating visual correction and treatment zones allows children to see clearly while slowing their myopia progression and eyeball growth.

Wearing MiSight 1-day contact lenses is shown to reduce myopia progression in children by 59% on average, reducing their reliance on vision correction.

41% of children who wore MiSight contact lenses had no significant change in prescription during the three-year period of a recent study compared to only 4% of those who did not.

Stellest Spectacle Lenses

Stellest Spectacle lenses from Essilor use specific lens designs to slow down the progression of myopia and are as easy to wear as any pair of children’s glasses. Based on a two-year clinical trial results, Stellest is proven to curb myopia progression in children on average by 67 %
