Changing the Way Kids See

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is commonly diagnosed in childhood and can worsen over time, increasing the risk of more severe sight conditions later in life. Well-vision professionals are seeing it develop more and more in children.

 

As myopia progresses, patients become dependent on contact lenses to see or glasses become thicker and heavier. Glasses add functional and cosmetic concerns, and long-term contact use may lead to harmful vision issues later in life, including:

• Glaucoma
• Retinal detachment
• Cataracts
• Myopic macular degeneration

 

Dunes Eye Consultants’ Myopia Management Center can help!

• Enjoy activities without glasses or contacts
• Protect the health and structure of the eye
• Reduce the chance of chronic eye problems later in life, including glaucoma and retina degeneration
• Support academic and athletic performance.

The MiSight® 1 day lenses are the first and only contact lenses that are FDA-approved for slowing the progression of myopia when prescribed for children 8–12 years old.
