Wave NightLens®/Paragon CRT Lenses Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) uses specially designed custom contact lenses that are worn overnight while sleeping to gently reshape the front surface of the eye. When the lenses are removed in the morning, most patients can enjoy clear vision throughout the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses. In addition to providing daytime freedom from corrective eyewear, Ortho-K has been shown to help slow the progression of myopia by reducing excessive eye growth.

Ortho-K is completely non-surgical and reversible. If treatment is discontinued, the cornea gradually returns to its original shape. The lenses are worn every night to maintain clear vision and are custom-fit to each patient's eyes for comfort and effectiveness.

This treatment is especially popular among active children, teens, and athletes who want clear vision for sports, swimming, and other activities without relying on glasses or daytime contact lenses. Most patients adapt quickly to overnight lens wear, and regular follow-up visits help ensure the lenses continue to fit properly and provide the best possible results.

Good to know: Ortho-K lenses are worn only while sleeping and removed each morning. Consistent nightly wear and proper lens care are important for maintaining clear vision and achieving the best myopia control outcomes.

Low-dose atropine eye drops are a safe and effective treatment used to help slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. The drops are applied once nightly before bedtime and work by helping to reduce the eye's tendency to grow longer, which is a key factor in worsening myopia. Because atropine drops do not correct vision, children will still need to wear their prescribed glasses or contact lenses during the day to see clearly. This treatment is easy to incorporate into a daily routine and can be used alone or alongside other myopia management options. Regular follow-up visits allow us to monitor your child's progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Good to know: Atropine eye drops help slow myopia progression, but they are not a substitute for glasses or contact lenses and should be used as directed by your eye doctor. Some children may experience mild light sensitivity while using atropine drops and may benefit from photochromic (Transitions®) lenses or sunglasses outdoors. Dr. Tung will discuss the best options based on your child's treatment plan and visual needs.

Essilor® Stellest® lenses are advanced eyeglass lenses specifically designed to correct vision while helping slow myopia progression in children. The lenses use innovative Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target (H.A.L.T.) technology, which creates a signal that helps reduce excessive eye growth—one of the primary causes of worsening myopia. They provide clear, comfortable vision and look similar to regular eyeglass lenses, making them an easy option for children who prefer wearing glasses.

Unlike standard glasses that only correct blurry vision, Stellest® lenses are designed to both correct vision and manage myopia progression at the same time. Children wear them just like their everyday glasses during all waking hours, with no special routines, drops, or contact lens handling required. The lenses are available in a variety of frame styles and prescriptions and can be customized with common lens options such as anti-reflective coatings and photochromic treatments.

Good to know: Stellest® lenses must be worn consistently throughout the day to provide the greatest myopia management benefit. While they can help slow the progression of nearsightedness, regular eye exams are still important to monitor prescription changes and track your child's eye growth over time.

This treatment is an excellent choice for families seeking a non-invasive, easy-to-manage myopia control option that fits seamlessly into a child's daily routine.

MiSight® 1 day , Acuvue Abiliti contact lenses are the first FDA-approved soft contact lenses specifically indicated to slow the progression of myopia in children. These daily disposable lenses provide clear vision correction while using specialized optical technology designed to help manage eye growth, helping to reduce the rate at which nearsightedness worsens over time.

Designed specifically for children, MiSight® lenses are worn during the day and discarded after each use, eliminating the need for cleaning solutions or lens storage. They provide the freedom of contact lenses while maintaining a simple, convenient daily routine. Many children as young as 8 years old can successfully learn to insert and remove the lenses with proper training and parental support.

Unlike traditional contact lenses that only correct blurry vision, MiSight® lenses are designed to both correct vision and help slow myopia progression at the same time. They are an excellent option for children who want freedom from glasses for school, sports, and other activities while actively managing their myopia.

Good to know: MiSight® lenses must be worn consistently as recommended by your eye doctor to achieve the greatest myopia management benefit. Because they are daily disposable lenses, a fresh, clean pair is used each day, making them a convenient and hygienic option for many families. Regular follow-up visits are important to monitor your child's vision, prescription changes, and eye growth over time.
