What Is Myopia?
MYOPIA = NEARSIGHTEDNESS
Myopia (nearsightedness) is now the most common vision problem in kids, teens, and young adults—and it’s rising quickly. Studies show rates of myopia in the U.S. have increased nearly 70% since the early 1970s.
Myopia develops when the eye grows longer than normal, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it—making far-away objects appear blurry.
When myopia begins in childhood, it often worsens year after year.
The good news? Modern myopia control treatments—such as Essilor® Stellest® lenses—can help slow that progression and protect long-term vision.
MiSight & Myopia Progression
Stellest Lenses are FDA-Approved to slow the progression of nearsightedness
Who is a Good Candidate for Stellest® Lenses?
Stellest lenses are designed to help slow the progression of myopia in children and youth.
Children and adolescents whose eyes get more nearsighted every year
Patients who want an alternative to Ortho-K to help control progression of their myopia.
Young people with myopia who will do better with glasses than contact lenses.
Why is Myopia Bad?
TAKE CHILDHOOD MYOPIA SERIOUSLY
Nearsightedness is becoming more and more common in children today—far more than it was when we were growing up. And as parents, it can feel scary to watch prescriptions jump every year.
But here’s the good news: we don’t have to panic. We just need to be proactive and intentional.
Myopia is manageable. And when we get ahead of it early, we can help slow those changes over time and protect your child’s long-term eye health.
Higher levels of nearsightedness in childhood don’t just mean thicker glasses—it can increase the risks of future eye disease, like glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic macular degeneration. That’s why taking action now matters.
Let us help provide you with the best options avaialble to help you to protect your child’s vision now, and for the future.
