Myopia Control

What Is Myopia Control?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, often begins in childhood and may progress as the eye grows. While standard single-vision glasses and contact lenses correct blurry distance vision, they are not designed to slow myopia progression. At NORViSTA Eye Care in North Vancouver, myopia control uses evidence-based treatments to help slow prescription changes and axial eye growth, with treatment personalized to each child’s age, risk factors and rate of progression
