Myopia Control

What is Myopia Control?

Myopia Control is a nonsurgical procedure that uses RGP contact lenses to prevent or retard the progression of myopia. Unlike Orthokeratology, which uses RGP contact lenses to reshape a cornea that has already developed a myopic condition, Myopia Control is a preventative therapy that designed to prevent the progression of myopia.

Since myopia progression often begins during childhood, Myopia Control is usually a pediatric therapy.

Myopia Control is current the subject of a great deal of academic interest and investigation. Several detailed studies exploring the scope and effectiveness of Myopia Control have been conducted during the past decade.
