More and more children are developing myopia, or nearsightedness, at younger ages. Myopia almost always becomes more severe over time.
Myopia control reduces the risks associated with high myopia such as cataracts, glaucoma, myopic degeneration, retinal detachments, and of course dependence on strong eyewear.
At Accent Eyecare we offer treatment strategies such as specialized soft multifocal contact lenses and eyedrops which are proven to manage, reduce, or even prevent myopic progression. If your child is developing nearsightedness it is very important to slow the progression as soon as possible.

Atropine Eye Drops:
Studies show that Atropine eye drops reduce the progression of myopia. This safe and easy treatment option is very effective at slowing nearsighted progression.
Single Use Contact Lenses:
We also use specialized multifocal contact lenses which reduce myopic progression by 90%. These disposables are convenient and safe for use by children.
Orthokeratology:
Another great non-surgical, reversible way to manage nearsightedness is custom fitted contact lenses which your child wears only while they sleep. These lenses gently reshape the eye surface, giving them clear vision all day long without glasses or contacts. These lenses also dramatically slow the progression of myopia.
The Future Is Here:
At Accent Eyecare we now offer the first and only F.D.A. approved spectacle lenses to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children! These revolutionary lenses don’t just correct vision, when used in combination with pharmaceutical eye drops for myopia reduction they dramatically slow myopia progression in children.
