PEDIATRIC MYOPIA CONTROL

​

Myopia (nearsightedness) in children and teens historically led to a yearly need for stronger, thicker spectacle lenses. This increasing myopia not only worsens uncorrected vision but also weakens the eye, making it more vulnerable to conditions like glaucoma, myopic degeneration, cataracts, and retinal detachment. Today, however, effective therapies exist to slow myopia progression in children. Dr. Herrington is certified to prescribe CooperVision's MiSight contact lens, the first FDA-approved lens for myopia control.
