Safe & Evidence-Based Myopia Treatments
Our doctors use the latest clinically proven methods to slow the progression of myopia in children, protecting their long-term vision health.
Depending on personal profile for each child, doctors may use one or a combination of any of the following to manage and control myopia.
FDA Approved Soft Contacts
Specially designed FDA approved daytime contact lenses that correct vision while simultaneously slowing eye growth and myopia progression in active children.
Atropine Eye Drop Therapy
Daily prescription eye drops that have been clinically shown to significantly slow the progression of myopia in young children with minimal side effects.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Custom-designed overnight contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, providing clear vision all day without glasses.
Stellest Glasses
Stellest spectacle lenses provide both vision correction and a unique signal to slow eye elongation, offering a child-friendly solution for managing myopia.
How Myopia Treatments Work
​
Each option targets myopia progression from a unique angle.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) gently reshapes the cornea overnight, while myopia control contact lenses and Stellest glasses use specialized optics to guide how light focuses on the retina.
Low-dose atropine drops work biologically, helping slow the eye’s growth signals from within. Because these approaches act through different mechanisms, they can be highly effective on their own.
​
In many cases, the best results come from a personalized combination of treatments.
By addressing myopia from multiple pathways at once, combination therapy can provide stronger control than any single option alone—especially for children with faster progression.
At Santa Clara Vision Center and Eyesight Solutions Optometry, we tailor each plan based on your child’s age, lifestyle, and rate of change. The goal is simple: slow progression as much as possible today to reduce long-term risk tomorrow.

“The measured reduction in progression is exactly what we were hoping for. I wasn't sure what to expect initially and how effective the treatment may be. My child's experience with Dr Kim and at their practice has been great so far. I've bought my son to both their practices- Eye Sight Optometry and Santa Clara Vision, and staff was very accommodating and helped us plan everything."
