Myopia Management at St. Johns Eye Associates
Our eye doctors are committed to providing exceptional vision for every member of your family, now and in the long run. We offer a wide range of management options to effectively control myopia, ensuring that your children can see clearly and comfortable at every age.
What is Myopia?
As myopia usually shows up during childhood and adolescence, early detection and treatment is key to preventing ever-increasing prescriptions or complications down the line. Thanks to our knowledgeable doctors and state-of-the-art equipment, we can help manage myopia in people of all ages.
We Can Limit Myopia’s Progression
Our Myopia Management Methods
To correct vision and control nearsightedness at the same time, our myopia specialists use the latest methods to provide every patient with personalized solutions. Our attentive doctors assess your eye health, discuss your vision and lifestyle, and determine the best myopia management method for you.
Overnight Contact Lenses
To slow myopia progression as you sleep, we provide custom-fit ortho-k lenses that gently reshape the eye’s surface overnight: this prevents the eye from getting longer, and temporarily corrects vision by the morning. Ortho-k lenses are a worry-free option that give your children sharp vision for school, sports, and other activities without needing to wear standard glasses or contacts during the day.
Daytime Soft Contact Lenses
For comfortable daytime vision correction, our myopia doctors offer various types of soft contact lenses, including MiSight, Bausch + Lomb, and NaturalVue® multifocals. These specialized soft contact lenses allow you to see clearly at any distance and effectively reduce eye strain, one of the main accelerants of myopia development.
Prescription Eye Drops
When applied nightly, low-dose atropine drops relax your eyes and decrease eye strain to hinder myopia. Since atropine drops don’t correct vision, they’re most effective when combined with daytime glasses or contacts, whether those are standard eyewear or one of the specialized options above.
