Myopia Management

The health of your child is paramount, both now and in the future. You want to see your child thrive, and that's the essential word: seeing. You may have noticed that your youngster finds it challenging to focus in class and enjoy themselves when playing because they can't see very far away. Your youngster may be short-sighted or have myopia.

Early Diagnosis

As lifestyles change and children engage in more near-work activities like using digital devices, studying, and reading while spending less time outdoors, the prevalence of myopia is predicted to rise considerably. Environmental, behavioural, and hereditary factors are also important.

Early myopia diagnosis enables vision correction for your child today as well as future vision and eye health preservation by slowing the progression of myopia.

You can help prevent your child's nearsightedness from worsening as they grow by correcting their nearsightedness (also known as myopia). Introducing MiSight® 1 day* soft contact lenses, which are FDA-approved* to manage the progression of myopia in children ages 8 to 12 at the start of treatment.

The eyes of a child with nearsightedness grow faster and longer than they should, causing far away objects to appear blurry. If untreated, the eye becomes weaker and vision often gets worse as the child grows older.

Whether it's tablets, computers or homework, today's kids focus more on things right in front of them rather than spending time outdoors. This behavior is leading to more and more children developing myopia - also known as short-sightedness. By 2020, more than one-third of the world's population was short-sighted. This means that there has been a sharp increase within just two decades.

The experts at Rodenstock have developed a solution: Rodenstock MyCon®. These children's lenses are precisely designed to correct myopia, ensure sharp vision and counteract the progression of myopia.
