Myopia Management

Slow Your Child’s Nearsightedness.
Protect Their Future Vision

Myopia, also called nearsightedness, often gets worse as children grow. While glasses and standard contact lenses can help your child see clearly, they do not always address the bigger concern: myopia can continue to worsen as a child grows. Myopia management is designed to help slow how quickly their prescription changes over time.

At OC Optometry Group, we offer myopia management for children and teens. Our goal is to help slow the progression of myopia and support your child’s long-term eye health throughout Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Newport Coast, Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Laguna Beach.

More Than Just Stronger Glasses

When a child’s prescription keeps increasing year after year, it may be a sign that their eyes are continuing to grow too long. Myopia management focuses on slowing that progression, not just correcting blurry distance vision. The earlier myopia is identified and managed, the more opportunity we have to support your child’s long-term eye health.

Is Your Child Showing Signs of Myopia?

Your child may be nearsighted if they squint to see far away, sit close to the TV, hold books or screens close to their face, complain of headaches, or struggle to see the board at school. If you have noticed these signs, a myopia management evaluation can help determine whether your child would benefit from treatment.

Stellest Glasses for Myopia Control

Stellest glasses are advanced spectacle lenses designed to correct your child’s vision while also helping slow myopia progression. The FDA authorized marketing of Essilor Stellest eyeglass lenses to correct myopia and slow progression in children ages 6 to 12 at treatment initiation.

Ortho-K

Ortho-K lenses are custom contact lenses worn overnight while your child sleeps. The lenses gently reshape the front surface of the eye so many children can wake up with clearer vision and function throughout the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses.

Myopia Control Contact Lenses

Special soft contact lenses are typically worn during the day and may be a good option for responsible children and teens. They provide clear vision for school and sports without relying on glasses throughout the day.
