Myopia Control Lenses for Children

Have you noticed your child holding screens too close to their eyes or struggling to see distant objects? This could be myopia (nearsightedness), a condition that's becoming increasingly common among children. The good news is that there's a proven way to slow down its progression! Myopia control in children can preserve long-term eye health, especially when treatment begins at a young age. The earlier we detect it - the more we can help.

In the last decade, the number of children with myopia (nearsightedness) has doubled. One in three children today suffers from myopia, and experts warn that this trend will only worsen. The main causes are prolonged screen use, reading at close distances, lack of exposure to natural light, and genetics. The major problem is that if myopia isn't properly managed at a young age, it can worsen rapidly - and cause complications in the future.

The Critical Age for Intervention - Don't Miss the Window of Opportunity!

The eye's growth period lasts from age 6 to 16. This is the critical stage when myopia worsens rapidly - and where we can slow down the progression. If caught in time, it's possible to reduce the rate of prescription increase by 40%-60%. From age 16 onwards, the eyeball's growth rate slows down, so we can no longer influence the process. Parents who identify the problem early give their child an advantage for life.

What happens if we don't stop the deterioration at a young age?

The prescription continues to increase, leading to more complex and expensive lenses. The eyeball elongates excessively, causing irreversible anatomical changes. Additionally, advanced myopia increases the risk of serious eye diseases in adulthood:

• Retinal detachment - a condition that can lead to vision loss.
• Glaucoma - increased intraocular pressure that damages the optic nerve and can cause blindness.
• Early cataracts - decreased visual acuity at a younger age than usual.
• Macular degeneration - irreversible damage to the central vision area

The Solution: Smart Lenses for Myopia Control in Children

In the past, there was no real solution - regular glasses corrected vision but didn't prevent progression.

Today, research has proven that there are special lenses capable of slowing down the rate of prescription increase in a scientific and controlled manner.

Types of Lenses That Slow Myopia Progression

• HOYA lenses (MYOSMART) - The leading and most researched lenses. D.I.M.S technology that slows prescription increase by 60%.
• ESSILOR lenses (STELLEST) - With advanced HALT technology for slowing myopia progression.
• ZEISS lenses (MYOCARE) - Combine vision correction with a special mechanism to slow eyeball elongation.
• OPTIMIZE lenses (MYOSLOW) - Specially developed to slow progression rates in children and teenagers.

How do we know the lenses actually help? - Measuring Eyeball Length

Without professional measurement of eyeball length, it's impossible to know if myopia is worsening at a dangerous rate. Want to know if your child's myopia is developing rapidly? This measurement is the only way to understand how fast myopia is progressing. Without measurement - there's no way to know if the lenses are actually stopping the deterioration. Only with accurate data on eyeball elongation can we verify that the treatment is working and customize it for each child.

How does it work in practice?

1. Schedule a children's eye exam at our optical store.
2. Perform precise measurement of eyeball length using advanced equipment specially designed for this purpose.
3. Fit children's prescription glasses with the most suitable lenses for their visual condition.
4. Return for follow-up every six months to a year to ensure the lenses are actually stopping the deterioration.

This way, you can preserve your child's vision and prevent future damage.
