Treating Myopia
Today, there are many options for addressing Myopia. In fact, there are so many, it can get pretty confusing. At Eastern Virginia Eye Associates, we stay at the forefront of eye care advancements.
In recent years, there has been a surge of innovative solutions aimed at slowing the progression of myopia. With the use of specially designed lenses, the latest technologies are proving to be more effective in managing myopia than ever before.
*NEW MiSight Soft Lenses
Child-friendly daily disposable contact lenses proven to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children aged 8-12 at the initiation of treatment.
Kids lead active, jam-packed lives. But whether they’re playing pretend, riding bikes with their friends, or learning new things at school, myopia (nearsightedness) can make it harder for them to engage in the activities they love. And as they grow, their prescription may get stronger too.
Fortunately, your age-appropriate children may benefit from an innovative technology to help slow down the progression of their myopia: MiSight® 1 day contact lenses from CooperVision.
MiSight 1 day contact lenses with ActivControl® Technology not only correct nearsightedness – they’re also the first soft contact lenses proven to slow the progression of myopia in children in children aged 8-12 at initiation of treatment. When wearing MiSight 1 day contact lenses, your age-appropriate child can experience clear vision, freedom from glasses and continue to enjoy the activities they love.
Paragon CRT
Corneal Refractive Therapy has quickly become one of the fastest growing forms of controlling myopia due to its effectiveness and convenience. The lenses are worn only at night while sleeping. Upon waking and removing the lenses, eyesight is clear and comfortable throughout the day. More importantly, when worn each night, the lenses are extremely effective at slowing or halting the progression of Myopia.
Our doctors use Paragon CRT lenses. Paragon CRT lenses have been FDA approved since 2001 with over 1 million users in over 50 countries.
All of our doctors are CRT Certified and are happy to discuss this option. We offer a FREE CRT consultation for those who are candidates for this life changing technology.
