MiSight (Myopia Control)
Myopia Control in Reno, NV & Carson City, NV | Downtown Vision
At Downtown Vision, we’re dedicated to helping children and teens manage myopia (nearsightedness) and reduce the risk of future eye health issues. Myopia, which makes distant objects appear blurry, has become increasingly common among children. Early intervention with myopia control can slow its progression, reducing the likelihood of severe vision problems later in life. We proudly offer effective myopia control treatments, including MiSight, Orthokeratology (Ortho-K), and Atropine drops, at our Reno and Carson City locations.
Understanding Myopia Control Treatments
Our myopia control options are designed with safety and effectiveness in mind, helping parents feel confident about managing their child’s eye health. Here’s a breakdown of each treatment:
MiSight Lenses
MiSight contact lenses are FDA-approved soft contacts specifically developed to slow down the progression of myopia in children.
Benefits of MiSight:
Safe and Comfortable: Soft lenses are easy for kids to wear daily.
Proven Results: Studies show reduced myopia progression in children.
Daily Wear: Convenient daily disposable lenses eliminate the need for cleaning.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, allowing clear vision during the day without needing glasses or contacts. This treatment is particularly effective for controlling myopia progression.
Benefits of Ortho-K:
Non-Surgical: Provides clear vision during the day without surgery.
No Daytime Wear: Great for active kids who prefer to be free from lenses or glasses.
Proven Myopia Control: Slows myopia progression over time.
Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine eye drops are a well-researched method for slowing myopia progression, particularly effective in younger children.
Benefits of Atropine Drops:
Non-Invasive: Simple daily drop application.
