Exploring Myopia Control Treatment Options for Children

If you’ve noticed your child struggling to see the board at school or holding devices closer to their face, they may be experiencing myopia (nearsightedness). The good news? Myopia progression can be managed with the right approach. At Orange County Vision Center, we offer personalized myopia control treatment options designed to slow down vision changes and protect your child’s long-term eye health.

Why Myopia Control Matters

Myopia isn’t just about needing stronger glasses every year. As it progresses, it increases the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. That’s why early intervention is key.

In Garden Grove, we see many children whose myopia is progressing rapidly, often due to increased screen time and limited outdoor activities. Fortunately, treatments like MiSight® 1 day lenses and Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) can help slow this progression and provide clearer vision without relying solely on glasses.

MiSight® 1 Day Lenses

For parents looking for a simple and effective way to manage myopia, MiSight® 1 day lenses offer a convenient solution. These FDA-approved soft contact lenses are designed specifically for children, helping to slow myopia progression while providing clear vision throughout the day.

Easy to Use: Since they’re daily disposables, there’s no need for cleaning or maintenance. Just put in a fresh pair every morning and dispose of them at night.
Kid-Friendly Comfort: Designed for young eyes, MiSight® lenses are soft, breathable, and comfortable.
Clinically Proven Results: Studies show MiSight® can reduce myopia progression by up to 59%.

Many parents in Garden Grove appreciate MiSight® because it allows their children to stay active in sports and other activities without the inconvenience of glasses.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Ortho-K lenses work differently from traditional contact lenses. These specially designed gas-permeable lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps. In the morning, they remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision all day—without glasses or daytime contacts.

Freedom from Glasses: Perfect for kids who are active in sports or don’t want to wear lenses during the day.
Proven Myopia Control: Studies show Ortho-K can significantly slow myopia progression.
Safe and Reversible: If your child stops wearing Ortho-K lenses, their eyes return to their original shape.

Ortho-K is especially popular among families looking for a non-surgical, effective way to manage myopia.

Choosing the Best Treatment for Your Child

Every child’s eyes are different, which is why we take a personalized approach to myopia management. During a comprehensive eye exam, we assess your child’s vision and discuss which treatment option fits their needs and lifestyle best. Whether it’s MiSight® 1 day lenses or Ortho-K, our goal is to provide a solution that supports their vision now and protects their eye health for the future.
