Myopia Management in the Annapolis Valley

Slowing Down the Progression of Myopia

The longer the eye gets, the worse vision gets, so preventing the eye from growing too long will slow the progression of myopia. Valley Family Optometry employs a few different methods of slowing down the growth of a myopic eye.

MiSight 1 Day Disposable Lenses

CooperVision MiSight 1 day contact lenses are daily disposable lenses that have been shown to significantly reduce the progression of myopia in children. In a clinical trial spanning over 3 years, children wearing MiSight lenses had 59% less myopia progression and 52% less axial elongation than children wearing single-vision lenses.

The lenses are easy to put in and remove, and allow children to continue living their lives as normal. Most parents have reported their children are able to manage their lenses independently.

If you’re interested in these contact lenses and how they can help your child, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
