Slow Down Myopia’s Progression in Children
Myopia (nearsightedness) often begins in childhood and makes it hard for young eyes to see clearly in the distance. It can also lead to sight-threatening eye diseases later in life.
At Family Vision Care, we offer customized myopia control based on the understanding that every child’s vision is unique.
We offer several myopia control options, including MiSight contact lenses and atropine drops, but go beyond the usual tactics with our exclusive children’s eyewear line to create a comfortable, positive myopia control experience.

Request AppointmentWhy Myopia Control Is Important
Myopia occurs when the eyes grow too long, causing light bending in the eye to land too short. This physical shape puts stress on the internal structures of the eyes, which can lead to serious eye problems later in life.
Myopia control aims to slow the eye’s growth, protect children’s future eye health, and improve their overall quality of life.
The Link Between Vision & Learning
Children heavily rely on their vision to learn and grow. Children with myopia may have difficulty seeing the board, miss visual cues, and experience eye strain, which can affect their ability to focus and participate in class.
Early detection and myopia control can help. By supporting your child’s vision, we can help make sure their eyesight doesn’t hold them back from their potential.
Our Myopia Control Strategies
We employ a comprehensive approach and various strategies for managing myopia progression. Every child is unique with unique needs, so no 2 myopia control programs will look the same.
Our main myopia control strategies include our independent frame line, MiSight contact lenses, and atropine eye drops.
Our Independent Frame Line
At Family Vision Care in Marion, we believe that eyewear should be as unique as the individuals who wear them.
We’re proud to introduce our independent myopia frame line that features myopia control lenses. These frames and lenses are meticulously crafted to meet our community’s desire for more personalized eyewear options.
Understanding the importance of both style and function, especially in managing myopia, we’ve designed this collection to offer a customized experience.
MiSight
MiSight 1-day lenses are daily disposable contact lenses clinically proven to slow myopia progression in children.
These lenses are designed specifically for children, providing clear vision and comfort while addressing the underlying issue of myopia progression.
Atropine Drops
Low-dose atropine eye drops have been shown to slow myopia progression in children by 30–50%.
Atropine is often paired with other myopia control methods for improved outcomes.
Choose Myopia Control to Protect Their Long-Term Vision
As children grow, unchecked myopia can lead to more severe eye problems and impact their educational performance, self-esteem, and quality of life.
