Myopia Control in Lincoln

Treating Myopia

Although you cannot reverse the effects of myopia, there are various correction methods to provide you with clear vision. Eyeglasses and contact lenses are very effective at improving visual acuity.

If myopia is diagnosed at a young age, specific treatment methods can help to slow the progression.

Gentle Vision Shaping
Gentle Vision Shaping (Orthokeratology or OrthoK), is a specialized treatment using vision retainer rigid gas-permeable contact lenses to gently and slowly reshape the front surface of the eye (cornea). The principle is similar to the use of a dental retainer used by an orthodontist to realign crooked teeth. The retainers are worn overnight and allow clear vision during the day without the use of glasses or contact lenses.

Consistent wear can help to correct vision and slow the progression of myopia.

Specialty Contact Lenses

Additional to Gentle Vision Shaping, we proudly offer CooperVision lenses to help manage the progression of myopia. MiSight 1 day lenses are dual-vision soft contacts that work in a similar way that bifocals inhibit myopia progression.
If you are interested in myopia control, please book an appointment and allow us to best evaluate your situation.
