The expanded myopia management treatments include Ortho-K, MiSight® contact lenses, and low-dose atropine therapy—options that the clinic says are clinically proven to slow myopia progression and support long-term vision health in both children and adults.

According to the National Institutes of Health, nearsightedness affects roughly one in three Americans between the ages of 12 and 54. The condition occurs when the eyeball becomes elongated, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. While glasses and traditional contact lenses can improve vision clarity, they do not stop the condition from worsening. Left untreated, progressive myopia can increase the risk of serious complications later in life, including glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration, A2Z Eyecare explains.

The clinic stresses the importance of early intervention, particularly in children, whose eyes are still developing and respond well to treatment. Using advanced tools such as axial length measurement and corneal mapping, the team can accurately detect, monitor, and manage myopia progression over time.

Among the various treatment options offered by A2Z Eyecare, Ortho-K lenses are recommended for children and teens engaged in sports or outdoor activities. These custom-fitted lenses are worn overnight to reshape the cornea, supporting clear vision throughout the day with no need for glasses or daytime contacts.

For younger children or those who prefer daily lenses, the clinic offers MiSight® 1-day contact lenses – the first and only FDA-approved soft contacts designed to both correct vision and slow the elongation of the eye. Clinical studies show they can reduce myopia progression by up to 59%.

For families seeking a non-invasive alternative, the clinic’s low-dose atropine therapy may be a suitable option. Applied once daily, the eye drops have been shown to slow myopia progression by up to 50% and can be used alongside glasses or contacts.

“Our goal is not just to correct vision but to protect it for the future,” said Dr. Victoria Kravchenko, lead optometrist at A2Z Eyecare. “By intervening early—especially in young patients—we can significantly slow myopia progression and help preserve their long-term eye health.”

Besides myopia control, Dr. Kravchenko offers other eye care services, such as neurolenses for eye strain relief, dry eye treatment, and ocular disease management.
