Abiliti 1Day Lenses for Myopia Management

In recent years, the prevalence of myopia (nearsightedness) in children has reached pandemic proportions, with an estimated 1.45 billion people currently living with this common vision problem worldwide.

According to many researchers, by 2050 approximately 5 billion people will be nearsighted.

These numbers are concerning, as progressive myopia doesn’t only require stronger lenses, but increases the risk of sight-threatening eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, myopic retinal degeneration and retinal detachment, in the future.

The good news is that there are proven ways to slow and even halt myopia progression, to protect your child’s vision and eye health, both now and in the future.

What is Myopia Management?

While standard eyeglasses and contact lenses can correct myopia and provide clear distance vision, they cannot stop myopia from progressing.

If your child’s optical prescription has been increasing at least every year, speak with us about myopia management.

Myopia management is a customized program that slows myopia progression or halts it completely.
