Myopia Control & Management in Loveland

Special contact lenses can provide a corrective solution for myopia. Although they require additional testing and fitting, the right contacts can slow down myopia progression, too. 2020 EyeCare offers CooperVision MiSight Contact Lenses, which are specially designed for children with myopia.

These lenses not only correct nearsightedness but control myopia in young people. Part of the lens accounts for a refractive correction, like any prescription contact. But an added feature of this technology is the use of concentric rings within the contact lens to focus light at the right place on the retina. This can reduce the progress of myopia development.

Some manufacturers have developed spectacle lenses that aim to slow down myopia, as well as correcting refractive errors. Certain studies have shown less myopia progression with the use of specialty myopia controlling eyeglass lenses. Our eye care team can inform you of recommended options during a lens selection and frame fitting.
