Nearsightedness (Myopia) is becoming an epidemic among children in Round Rock and North Austin schools. Increased screen time and less time outdoors are causing prescriptions to worsen rapidly.
At Round Rock Eyes, we don't just keep prescribing stronger glasses. We treat the condition. As a certified Myopia Management Center, we offer three proven, FDA-approved methods to slow the progression of nearsightedness and protect your child's future retinal health.
MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses are the first and only lenses FDA-approved to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8-12. They work by correcting vision while simultaneously signaling the eye to stop growing too long.
Why parents choose MiSight:
Orthokeratology is a process that uses custom-designed gas-permeable contact lenses which are worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea. This provides corrected vision during waking hours and slows the progression of myopia.
What are the benefits of Orthokeratology?
Several published clinical studies have found that orthokeratology lens designs inhibit the lengthening of the eye, which slows the progression of nearsightedness. For more information: Smart Study Link
For children who aren't ready for contact lenses, we use compounded Atropine drops. Administered once at bedtime, these gentle drops help limit the eye's growth without interfering with daily reading or schoolwork.
