This is exciting news! Yet another treatment will soon be available to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. We currently manage myopia progression in our clinic with MiSight soft contacts, Ortho-K overnight contact lens treatment, and compounded eye drops.
This will be the very first treatment option of therapeutic glasses lenses and will be a game-changer for those who aren’t ready for contact lenses.
As more information becomes available, we will keep you informed. We will be thrilled to offer this new tech as soon as we can get it!
Today, we authorized the marketing of the first eyeglass lenses to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children 6 to 12 years old at the initiation of treatment. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-marketing-first-eyeglass-lenses-slow-progression-pediatric-myopia
The eyeglass lenses may reduce the likelihood of severe eyesight issues later in adult life and carry lower risks than the currently approved treatment alternative for slowing progression of myopia.
