Myopia Control in Vaughan

MiSight contact lenses have been clinically shown to slow myopia development in children between 8 and 12. In a study conducted by MiSight over 3 years, they found multifocal lenses effectively reduced myopia progression by 59% compared to regular single vision lenses.

These special contact lenses have concentric rings that create myopic defocus, allowing images to focus in front of the retina rather than behind. This then slows the unwanted elongation of the eye.

ACUVUE Abiliti contact lenses come in 2 types, both of which are designed to help slow the progression of myopia in children.

The 1-day contact lenses that can be worn during the day, are soft and comfortable, and simultaneously correct your child’s vision while reducing their myopic progression. The overnight contact lenses are worn while your child sleeps and helps to gently reshape the cornea (front surface of the eye) so they can see clearly the next day. 

We can help you find the right choice for your child.

Forsee Eyecare is thrilled to participate in the pilot program for SightGlass Vision Diffusion Optics Technology.

These lenses address contrast sensitivity to slow the progression of myopia in children as young as 6 years old, helping to protect their eyes and preserve their vision long term. Studies have supported a significant reduction in both myopic refractive error (prescription) and axial length (AXL) progression in kids.

This means that Sightglass can significantly slow the progression of myopia both in prescription and eye length growth, thus helping to protect your child’s eyes as they grow up and reduce the risk of complications associated with higher myopia/near-sightedness.

We are privileged to be one of the selected practices to participate in this pilot program and provide your family with more effective options of care. Contact us today to see if Sightglass is right for your child.

MiyoSmart spectacle lenses can aid in slowing the progression of myopia using Hoya’s DIMS technology. This technology corrects light refraction through the lens and onto the front of the retina rather than the back, creating myopic defocus much like MiSight contact lenses. They’re great for children who don’t want to or can’t wear contact lenses.

Stellest glasses are specially designed to help your child see clearly without worsening their myopia.

The glasses have different treatment zones that provide clear vision as every angle. In normal, single-vision lenses, the outer angles of vision can be distorted. This can cause the eye to elongate as a way of compensation, which can cause myopia to progress. 

Stellest glasses can help your child see clearly while protecting their vision for years to come.

Atropine is a medication sometimes used before an eye exam to dilate the pupils. Studies have found that low-dose atropine eye drops can aid in slowing the progression of myopia in children.

Your eye doctor can recommend the best dose of atropine and a treatment plan to follow. Since atropine doesn’t correct your child’s vision, they’ll also need to wear corrective glasses or contacts during the day if their refractive error disrupts daily tasks.

Vision therapy is an alternative, non-surgical treatment to mend certain ocular issues using therapeutic procedures, exercises, and in some cases, virtual reality. It may be recommended if your child’s vision problems are related to the connection between their eyes and their brain. Learn more about vision therapy at Foresee Eyecare.
