Myopia Management

Myopia Control for Children in Redlands, California

At Bright Sight Optometry, we provide advanced myopia control for children in the Inland Empire, helping slow the progression of nearsightedness and protect your child’s long-term eye health. Clear vision supports learning, confidence, and an active lifestyle—and early myopia management can make a lasting difference.

If your child has been diagnosed with myopia, our optometry team offers evidence-based treatments designed to preserve vision now and reduce future eye health risks.

What Is Myopia (Nearsightedness)?

Myopia is a common childhood eye condition that causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. Parents often notice signs such as:

• Squinting to see the board at school
• Sitting very close to screens
• Frequent headaches or eye strain
• Difficulty with sports or outdoor activities

Myopia typically develops during childhood and often worsens as the eyes continue to grow. Today, nearly one in three Americans is nearsighted, and experts estimate that more than half of the global population will have myopia by 2050. Because higher levels of myopia increase the risk of serious eye diseases later in life, early management is essential.

Standard glasses and contact lenses correct blurry vision but do not slow myopia progression—which is why myopia control is so important.

Why Myopia Control Matters

At Bright Sight Optometry, myopia control is about more than updating a prescription. It’s about enhancing your child's quality of life now, protecting your child’s eye health in the future, and supporting their success at every stage of life.

When started early, myopia control can significantly slow the worsening of nearsightedness while your child’s eyes are still developing.

Benefits of Myopia Control

• Slower progression of nearsightedness and more stable prescriptions
• Clear, consistent vision for school and learning
• Improved confidence and performance in sports and activities
• Reduced lifetime risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration

Myopia Control Treatment Options at Bright Sight Optometry

We offer personalized myopia management plans, selecting treatments based on your child’s age, prescription, eye health, and lifestyle.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) with Euclid Lenses

Ortho-K lenses are custom-designed, gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight. While your child sleeps, the lenses gently reshape the cornea. In the morning, they remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision all day—without glasses or contacts.

This option is ideal for active kids and teens who want freedom during sports and outdoor activities and has been proven to slow myopia progression.

Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops

We offer low-dose atropine eye drops compounded by OSRX, a trusted pharmaceutical provider. Used once nightly, atropine helps relax the eye’s focusing system and has been shown to significantly slow myopia progression in children.
These drops are well tolerated and are a great option for younger children or those who are not ready for contact lenses.

MiSight® 1 Day Myopia Control Contact Lenses

MiSight® 1 Day lenses are FDA-approved daily disposable contact lenses specifically designed for myopia control in children.

They provide clear, comfortable vision and are a convenient option for children who are comfortable wearing contact lenses, with no cleaning or storage required. Clinical studies show MiSight lenses are effective in slowing the progression of myopia.

Essilor Stellest® Myopia Control Glasses

Essilor Stellest® lenses are an FDA-authorized eyeglass option designed to slow myopia progression in children. These lenses look like regular glasses but use advanced lenslet technology to help reduce excessive eye growth—the underlying cause of worsening myopia.

Stellest lenses are comfortable, easy to wear, and an excellent option for younger children or families seeking a non-contact lens solution.

When Should Your Child Have a Myopia Control Evaluation?

Schedule a myopia control consultation if your child:

• Has been diagnosed with myopia
• Needs stronger glasses every year
• Struggles to see distant objects
• Has vision-related challenges at school or during activities

Early treatment offers the greatest benefit and can help protect your child’s vision for years to come.
