Nearsightedness: A Growing Concern
Myopia (nearsightedness) is a common vision problem—and it is getting more prevalent. At Eyesis Eyecare, we understand the impact myopia can have on a child’s life and learning, and we offer myopia control methods to help, including myopia control lenses for glasses and MiSight contact lenses.
We can help you get started and support your child’s needs through children’s eye exams and a wide selection of children’s eyewear. Visit us to get started.
What Is Myopia Control?
Myopia is a refractive error that affects distance vision. Myopia control isn’t just about treating nearsightedness, though—it’s about making a difference in a child’s lifetime eye health. Myopia control methods can help slow the progression of myopia and provide long-lasting benefits for your little one by reducing their lifetime risk of myopia complications.
The Link Between Vision & Learning
The relationship between a child’s vision and their academic success can be profound, and myopia, if left unaddressed, can cast a shadow over various aspects of their learning journey. In the classroom, children with myopia may find it challenging to clearly see the whiteboard, participate in group activities, and focus on assignments.
The strain of constantly adjusting to blurred vision may lead to headaches, eye fatigue, and a lack of concentration, affecting overall academic performance. Beyond the classroom, myopia can extend its impact to extracurricular activities too, including sports and other recreational pursuits.
Regular eye exams play a pivotal role in identifying myopia early on and enabling timely interventions to address visual challenges.
Our Myopia Control Methods
Addressing myopia early is crucial, and at Eyesis Eyecare, we offer different myopia control methods to meet your child’s needs, including MiSight contact lenses and myopia control lenses.
MiSight contact lenses are designed to slow the progression of myopia. These daily disposable lenses are worn during the day and can provide clear vision while actively working to slow and control myopia progression for your child.
Myopia control eyeglasses lenses, specifically crafted for children, aim to slow down the advancement of nearsightedness. These lenses are part of our selection of comprehensive children’s eyewear solutions that can focus on both visual clarity and myopia management.

Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures globally, with millions of people undergoing the operation each year.
The surgery itself is safe, relatively pain-free, and quick. In just a few hours, patients are ready to head home to rest and focus on the healing process.
Healing from cataract surgery is faster than one may think. While full recovery can take anywhere between 3 to 10 weeks, in just a few days, individuals can experience gradual improvements in their vision. […]

Adjusting to a new pair of glasses takes time. However, if you’ve continuously experienced distorted vision and discomfort while wearing your glasses, this doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an error with the vision prescription. One area of optical care that people may overlook is their pupillary distance.
The pupillary distance (PD) is a measurement taken by your optical team after your routine eye exam. It measures the distance between the centers of your pupils in each eye, confirming that the lenses in your glasses will align correctly with your eye’s focal point. […]
Your child’s vision is just as important as their overall health, and regular children’s eye exams are an easy way to stay on top of their eyesight. These exams aren’t just about checking their prescription—it’s about catching potential issues before they cause your child any inconvenience. You should be scheduling your child’s first eye exam […]
