Myopia Control | Concord | Foresight Optometry

Early Myopia Management

Your child’s vision is precious, and in their younger years, they can see a lot of change. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that causes distant objects to appear blurry. Myopia can impact your child’s ability to see clearly both in the classroom and during daily activities.

Our team’s approach to myopia control combines technology, experienced care, and personalized service to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you and your family receive the attention you deserve.

From early management to tailored control options, we’re here to help your kids see the world more clearly. Contact us to schedule an appointment and address your child’s myopia early.

Why Myopia Control Matters

Myopia, or nearsightedness, often begins in childhood and can progress into adulthood, leading to challenges in school, sports, and everyday life.

Without control, myopia can worsen, raising the risk of serious eye issues like retinal detachment, cataracts, and glaucoma. Our myopia control program manages progression while empowering families with education on lasting vision care options.

Recognizing the Signs of Myopia in Kids

Young children may not always be able to tell you when they’re having trouble seeing, but there are a few signs you can watch for. Common indicators of myopia can include:

Frequent headaches
Squinting to see things in the distance
Complaints of eye strain
Blurry vision when looking far away
Sitting very close to screens or holding objects close to the face

If you notice these symptoms in your child, it may be time for an eye exam at Foresight Optometry to determine whether myopia control can help improve their vision and quality of life.

How Myopia Impacts Learning & Activities

Clear vision is essential for kids to succeed in the classroom and enjoy their daily activities.

Myopia can make it difficult to read from a distance, see the board clearly, or stay engaged in sports and group activities. These challenges can lead to frustration or confusion, leaving children feeling as if they’re falling behind their peers.

With our myopia control treatments, Foresight Optometry is dedicated to supporting your child’s vision, helping them stay focused, confident, and ready to take on new challenges with healthy, clear eyesight.

Myopia Control Focused On Results

Each child’s vision needs are unique, and our team understands that one size does not fit all. That’s why we offer a variety of specialized myopia control treatments, each carefully selected and tailored to provide results.

We’ll work closely with you and your child to find the ideal myopia control option that emphasizes both comfort and effectiveness.

For patients with unique needs, we also offer customized combination treatments, blending different therapies for the most effective results.

MiSight 1 Day Lenses

MiSight 1 day lenses are soft contact lenses that can help manage myopia in children. They are comfortable to wear and help correct and slow the progression of myopia.

Studies have shown that MiSight lenses slow myopia progression by an average of 59%.

MiSight lenses are daily-wear lenses, so they’re low-risk for children, and children as young as 8 years old have shown confidence in handling these lenses. If your children aren’t fans of wearing glasses, then MiSight may be their solution.

Ortho-k Lenses

Ortho-k lenses, also known as orthokeratology, are a non-surgical treatment that uses specialized lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea. When your child wears these lenses while they sleep, they wake up with clear vision throughout the day—reducing the reliance on glasses or contact lenses.

This treatment is ideal for active kids and teens who want the freedom to play sports, participate in school activities, or just enjoy their day without worrying about corrective lenses.

Multifocal Lenses & Myopia Control Glasses

Biofinity toric multifocal and NaturalVue multifocal contact lenses offer benefits for both clear vision and myopia management.

We also offer specially designed lenses for glasses, such as Eyezen, which can provide a stylish, effective option for slowing myopia progression.

Atropine Eye Drops

Atropine eye drops are a researched treatment option for slowing myopia progression, especially in children.

By using low-dose atropine eye drops, we can help reduce the rate at which your child’s myopia worsens. These easy-to-use drops are a minimally invasive option that doesn’t require surgery or contact lenses, making it a great choice for families looking for a simple solution.

Proactive Myopia Management

Effective myopia control begins with getting an early start. By identifying and addressing myopia in its early stages, we can help control its progression and support healthier vision for your children for years to come.
