Advanced Myopia Control for Clearer Vision
Figure 1. An eye that has myopia tends to be longer than normal and results in the image focussed in front of the retina.
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common eye condition that often begins in childhood and progresses into adulthood. At Stouffville Optometry, we provide myopia control solutions to slow the progression of nearsightedness, helping protect your child’s vision and reduce the risk of future eye health issues.

What is Myopia Control?
Myopia control focuses on slowing down the progression of nearsightedness, particularly in children and young adults.
While glasses and contact lenses are effective for vision correction, they don’t address the underlying progression of myopia. A proactive approach is essential because high levels of myopia increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
Our approach to myopia management is tailored to each patient, with a range of options to meet different needs and lifestyles, including MiSight, MiyoSmart, and Ortho-K.
Myopia Control Options at Stouffville Optometry
We offer a variety of cutting-edge treatments to control myopia, including:
MiSight® Multifocal Contacts Lenses: Designed specifically for myopia control, these lenses are FDA-approved multifocals that are proven to slow myopia progression in children. Available in daily disposable forms, they are comfortable and convenient to use for children.
MiyoSmart Lenses: These specialty glasses are engineered to reduce the progression of myopia through innovative lens technology. They offer a non-invasive, easy-to-use solution for children who may not be ready for contacts.
Ortho-K (Orthokeratology): Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contacts. This is a popular option for children and teens, offering freedom from daytime lenses and proven benefits for myopia control.

- Slow down the rate of myopia progression
