Why Glasses Are Not the Solution for Progressive Myopia 640×350 1.jpg

How Myopia Management Works

At Perspective Eye Care, we use advanced, evidence-based methods to slow the progression of myopia. Dr. Cho explains the most effective options:
1. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) 
Ortho-K involves wearing hard contact lenses overnight to reshape the cornea gently. This allows clear vision during the day while also slowing myopia progression. 
2. Specialty Soft Contact Lenses
FDA-approved lenses like CooperVision’s MiSight and VTI NaturalVue Multifocal lenses are designed to slow myopia progression while providing clear vision.
3. Atropine Eye DropsLow-dose atropine eye drops help relax the eye’s focusing mechanism, effectively slowing the progression of myopia.4. Special Lenses

Special glasses with myopia control designs are in development and show promising results in slowing myopia progression.

How Successful Is Myopia Management?

Dr. Cho reports a high success rate in slowing the progression of myopia—over 50% for most patients. While myopia cannot be completely stopped, these treatments significantly reduce its progression, protecting your child’s vision and eye health.

What is the Cost of Myopia Management?

The cost of myopia management varies depending on the severity of myopia and the treatment options used:

  • Range: $1,700 to $3,000 annually.
  • $1,700 Package: May include a single treatment, such as soft contact lenses or atropine drops.
  • $3,000 Package: May involve multiple therapies, such as combining Ortho-K lenses, atropine drops, and specialty glasses.
  • The more severe or rapidly progressing the myopia, the more comprehensive the treatment plan may need to be.
