Myopia Management
Personalized Treatments
Myopia (nearsightedness) often progresses throughout childhood and can increase the risk of eye health complications later in life. Our clinic offers evidence-based myopia management treatments designed to help slow the progression of myopia while providing clear, comfortable vision.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
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.

Essilor® Stellest® Lenses
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.
