Myopia Management for Children
Helping protect your child's vision today — and their eye health for the future.
PROTECTING THEIR VISION AS THEY GROW
More Than Just Correcting Nearsightedness
Myopia, or nearsightedness, often begins during childhood and can progress as a child grows. While traditional glasses correct blurry distance vision, myopia management is designed to do more — help slow the progression of nearsightedness over time.
At Ironwood Vision Center, Dr. Garn offers personalized myopia management using treatment options designed specifically for growing eyes.

What is myopia?
UNDERSTANDING MYOPIA
Why Does Myopia Management Matter?
Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry.
As myopia progresses, stronger prescriptions may be needed. Higher levels of myopia are also associated with an increased lifetime risk of certain eye conditions.
Managing myopia during childhood gives us an opportunity to help slow that progression while the eyes are still growing.
PERSONALIZED MYOPIA MANAGEMENT
Two Proven Options for Growing Eyes
MiSight® 1 day Contact Lenses
Myopia Control With the Freedom of Contacts
MiSight® 1 day is a daily disposable soft contact lens specifically designed for children with myopia. The lenses provide clear vision while also helping slow the progression of nearsightedness.
Daily disposable lenses also provide the convenience of a fresh pair each day without cleaning or storage.
Essilor® Stellest® Lenses
Myopia Control in an Eyeglass Lens
Stellest® lenses are specially designed spectacle lenses that provide clear vision while helping slow myopia progression in children.
They look and function much like everyday eyeglasses, making them an excellent option for children who prefer glasses or aren't ready for contact lenses.
A simple, non-invasive option worn just like regular glasses.
Dr. Garn will recommend the treatment option that best fits your child’s eyes, lifestyle, age, and needs.
CARE DESIGNED AROUND YOUR CHILD
Myopia Management Shouldn't Feel Scary
Regular follow-up visits allow Dr. Garn to monitor your child's prescription, eye health, and response to treatment as they grow.
Our goal is to make those visits comfortable, positive, and easy for children and parents alike.
