Myopia Treatment Solutions in San Jose
Myopia treatment solutions aim to slow the progression of nearsightedness by managing how the eye grows and how it processes visual input.
At Image Eyecare Optometry, we offer personalized myopia control options designed for comfort, safety, and effectiveness—tailored to your child’s needs.
Orthokeratology
Ortho-k involves wearing specially designed rigid lenses overnight that gently reshape the cornea. This allows for clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Benefits:
- Clear daytime vision without correction
- May help slow myopia progression
- Great option for active kids or those not ready for daytime lenses
Who it’s for:
Children who are comfortable with contact lenses and want freedom from glasses during the day. Often recommended for sports, active play, or older kids managing school independently.
Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine drops are applied nightly to reduce the rate of eye growth; one of the main causes of worsening myopia.
Benefits:
- Clinically proven to slow myopia progression
- Easy to administer
- Non-invasive and well tolerated
Who it’s for:
Younger children or those not ready for contact lenses. Also commonly used alongside other treatments for added control.
MiSight Contact Lenses
MiSight contact lenses are soft, daily disposable contacts designed specifically for children with myopia. They use a dual-focus design to correct vision and help slow eye growth.
Benefits:
- Comfortable and easy to use
- Worn during the day and discarded each night
- Clinical studies show more than 50% reduction in myopia progression for many children
Who it’s for:
School-aged kids and teens who are comfortable with contact lenses and want a non-invasive daytime option.
