Helping Kids See Clearly — Now and in the Future
Myopia (nearsightedness) is increasingly common in children, and when left unmanaged, it can progress significantly during the school years. At Virginia Eye Institute, we offer proven options to slow myopia progression and protect your child’s long-term vision health.
What is Myopia Management?
Myopia management goes beyond simply correcting how your child sees today. Our goal is to slow the rate at which nearsightedness worsens over time — reducing the risk of more serious eye conditions down the road.
We offer multiple clinically proven approaches, and the right choice depends on your child’s age, lifestyle, and prescription. Our team will work with you to find the best fit.
Our Myopia Management Options
Stellest Lenses
Stellest is a specially designed spectacle lens that corrects vision while also slowing myopia progression in children. It’s a great option for kids who prefer glasses and has demonstrated strong results in clinical studies.
MiSight Contact Lenses
MiSight is a daily disposable contact lens specifically designed for myopia management. It’s FDA-approved for slowing myopia progression in children ages 8–12 and is a strong choice for kids who are ready for contact lenses.
Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine drops are a well-established, non-contact option for slowing myopia progression. Used daily, they’re prescribed by both our optometrists and ophthalmologists and can be an effective part of a myopia management plan.
