Myopia Control Center Los Angeles & Beverly Hills

Advanced myopia control in Beverly Hills are designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness and protect your child’s long-term eye health.

Innovative Contact Lenses to Manage Myopia

Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common in children and can progressively worsen over time. Our Myopia Control Center offers advanced diagnostic technology and specialized contact lenses designed to slow myopia progression and support lifelong eye health. If left unmanaged, childhood myopia may increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

Is Myopia Control Right for Your Child?

Your child may benefit from myopia management if:

Your child participates in sports or high-energy activities
Your child prefers not to wear glasses
One or both parents wear glasses, contact lenses, or have had LASIK
Your child needed glasses before age 8
Their prescription changed more than –0.50D within the past year
There is a family history of macular degeneration, glaucoma, or retinal detachment

Untreated myopia can affect a child’s eye health, school performance, and confidence in everyday activities. Request Appointment

What Is Myopia?

Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry. While glasses or contact lenses can correct vision, they do not address the underlying progression of myopia. Myopia is increasingly recognized as a chronic, progressive condition, making early management especially important.

Why Early Myopia Treatment Matters

Myopia often progresses more rapidly in younger children. Early onset means more years of progression and a higher risk of developing high myopia, which is associated with long-term eye health complications. Reducing myopia progression by even 1.00 diopter can reduce the risk of myopic macular degeneration by approximately 40%.

We recommend that children:

Receive an eye exam between the ages of 3 and 5 to establish a baseline
Have annual eye exams throughout childhood and adolescence

Eye Health Risks Associated with Myopia

Progressive myopia increases the risk of several serious eye conditions, including:

Cataracts
Glaucoma
Retinal detachment
Staphyloma
Myopic macular degeneration

Myopia FAQ's

What is myopia and why is it important to manage it early?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry. Early management is important because myopia can progressively worsen over time and increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration.

How can I tell if my child may benefit from myopia control treatment?

Children may benefit from myopia management if they developed nearsightedness at a young age, experienced significant prescription changes within the past year, have a family history of myopia or eye disease, participate in sports, or prefer not to wear glasses.

At what age should children have their eyes examined for myopia?

Children should receive a comprehensive eye exam between the ages of 3 and 5 to establish a baseline and continue with annual eye exams throughout childhood and adolescence to monitor vision and eye health.

Can glasses alone stop myopia from getting worse?

No. While glasses and standard contact lenses can correct blurry vision, they do not address the underlying progression of myopia. Specialized myopia management treatments are designed to help slow the growth of the eye and reduce progression.

What eye health risks are associated with progressive myopia?

Progressive myopia can increase the risk of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, staphyloma, and myopic macular degeneration. Slowing myopia progression may help reduce the likelihood of these complications.

What is the OCULUS Myopia Master and how does it help?

The OCULUS Myopia Master is an advanced diagnostic system that measures corneal curvature, refractive error, and axial eye length while providing myopia management analysis. This technology helps with early detection, accurate diagnosis, and ongoing monitoring of myopia progression.

What are MiSight® 1-Day contact lenses?

MiSight® 1-Day contact lenses are FDA-approved soft contact lenses designed for children with myopia. They use ActivControl™ Technology to provide clear vision while helping to slow the progression of nearsightedness and eye growth associated with myopia.

What are the benefits of MiSight® 1-Day lenses for children?

MiSight® lenses may help slow myopia progression while offering comfortable daily disposable wear, freedom from glasses during activities and sports, and improved confidence and quality of life.

How do Abiliti™ Overnight Lenses work?

Abiliti™ Overnight Lenses are worn while sleeping and gently reshape the cornea overnight. This allows children to enjoy clear vision throughout the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses while also helping to slow myopia progression.

Are myopia control contact lenses safe for children?

When properly fitted and monitored by experienced eye care professionals, both MiSight® and Abiliti™ lenses are considered safe and effective options for managing myopia in children. Regular follow-up visits help ensure comfort, safety, and optimal treatment results.
