Myopia Management for Children in York Region

Protecting Young Eyes
for the Future

At Eyes on Stonehaven, protecting kids’ eyes is what we do. We offer children’s eye exams, where we monitor your child’s eyes for signs of myopia, or nearsightedness, and provide guidance and treatment options to manage their eyesight.

Childhood myopia impacts more than their vision. It also affects how your child’s eyes grow, increasing their risk of developing serious eye conditions later in life. We work closely with you and your child to monitor their eye health and intervene if necessary.

Traditional glasses correct their vision now, but don’t prevent their eyesight from worsening. Our treatment options help slow myopia progression to protect their vision long-term.

Your Myopia Control Team in York Region

Our team of optometrists at Eyes on Stonehaven has over 10 years of experience in managing the progression of myopia in children.

We use innovative diagnostic technology to monitor the growth of your child’s eyes and inform their treatment plan. In partnership with evidence-based manufacturers, we’ve continued to be early adopters of new and emerging myopia management and ortho-k technology.

Our optometrists strive to stay at the forefront of this evolving field through regular continuing education, including myopia management courses and meetings, along with staying up-to-date with new research. We provide customizable and agile treatments, ready to pivot based on the latest science.

Correct Their Vision Overnight

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, is a special type of rigid contact lens worn at night while your child sleeps. Our doctors are experienced in fitting customized ortho-k lenses to manage myopia in children.

Ortho-k contact lenses provide a few unique benefits compared to other myopia management treatments. They’re worn overnight, meaning your child won’t need to worry about glasses or contact lenses during the school day or at extracurricular activities such as sports, dance, or swimming. 

We can fit ortho-k lenses for children as young as 5 years old. Contact us today to discuss if ortho-k is a good fit for your child, or continue reading to learn more.

Clearer Vision, Brighter Future

We help protect your child’s eyes today so their vision is clear and their eyes are healthy for the future.

Our Myopia Management Treatments

Ortho-K Contact Lenses

Ortho-k lenses are worn overnight, gently reshaping the curve of your cornea so you can see clearly throughout the day without lenses.

Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses

Soft multifocal contact lenses provide multiple prescriptions or powers that help to correct nearsightedness and slow myopia progression.

Myopia Management Spectacle Lenses

Specially-designed myopia management glasses provide peripheral defocus that reduce eye elongation and the worsening of myopia.

Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine eye drops are administered at night, helping to slow myopia progression. They are often paired with another treatment method.
