Myopia, or nearsightedness, is an increasingly common condition, especially in children and adolescents. With potential risks of more severe eye issues in the future, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration, managing myopia effectively is crucial. At City Optics, we offer a range of evidence-based treatments to help slow the progression of myopia, safeguarding your vision for the long term.
MiyoSmart lenses are specially designed glasses that use D.I.M.S. technology to slow down myopia progression in children by creating a defocus effect that controls eye growth.
Key Benefits:
MiSight lenses are daily disposable contacts designed to reduce myopia progression by up to 59% when used regularly, offering a non-surgical option for children who prefer not to wear glasses.
Key Benefits:
Atropine eye drops are a low-dose medication that helps slow myopia progression in children. At City Optics, we offer various dosages to suit different needs, including 0.01% atropine (Eikance), which is most commonly used due to its balance of effectiveness and minimal side effects.
Available Dosages:
Lifestyle changes can also help manage myopia progression, such as increasing time spent outdoors and taking regular breaks from screens.
Key Tips:
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses
Note: We do not currently offer Ortho-K lenses at City Optics.
Ortho-K lenses are specially designed rigid contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea. While highly effective for controlling myopia and offering clear daytime vision without glasses or lenses, Ortho-K requires careful fitting and regular monitoring by a specialized clinic.
If you are interested in Ortho-K, we recommend consulting with a practice that specializes in this treatment.
