Beyond Standard Glasses: Myopia Control Glasses for Children
Standard glasses only hide symptoms. Our specialized lenses, including FDA-approved options like Stellest™, use innovative lenslet technology to help manage how the eye grows.
Why Standard Prescription Glasses for Myopia Aren't Enough
For decades, prescription glasses for myopia have been used as a "crutch." They help your child see clearly today, but they do nothing to stop their vision from getting worse over time.
Myopia control glasses are different. They look and feel like regular eyeglasses for nearsighted children, but they are engineered with a treatment purpose: to help signal the eye to slow its physical elongation.
How Myopia Control Glasses Work
At Treehouse Eyes, we offer lenses that use advanced optical designs to help manage myopia progression. These lenses are not just for vision correction; they are part of a treatment approach for myopia in children.
Stellest™ lenses, currently the only FDA-approved myopia control spectacle lens option available in the U.S., use a lenslet design. While the center of the lens provides clear vision, the surrounding areas influence how light reaches the retina, helping manage eye growth.
These lenses are designed for children during their key growth years and are prescribed as part of an individualized treatment plan.
Is Your Child a Candidate for Myopia Lenses?
If your child is already comfortable wearing frames but their prescription is jumping every 6 to 12 months, it is time to move beyond standard lenses.
The Perfect Entry Point
If you or your child aren't ready for contact lenses or daily drops, myopia glasses provide a familiar, non-invasive way to start the journey toward stable vision.
Built for Active Kids
We use high-impact resistant materials that are durable enough for the playground and the classroom.
Addressing the Root Cause
We focus on the "why" behind the blurry vision, ensuring your child doesn't just see better, but stays healthier.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
When you visit a Treehouse Eyes provider, we go beyond checking your child’s prescription. We measure how the eye is growing and evaluate whether myopia control glasses are the right fit.
If myopia control glasses are the right fit, your child’s care will include:
- Precision fit: Ensure the "treatment zones" of the lens are perfectly aligned with your child's pupils.
- Ongoing monitoring: Schedule follow-up visits to ensure the eye growth is stabilizing.
- Lifestyle guidance: Provide tips on outdoor time and digital habits to complement the technology in the lenses.
