Myopia Management in North Toronto

MiSight^® contact lenses are a 1-day disposable lens designed specifically for myopia management. It is a multifocal lens that contains multiple prescriptions throughout the lens, helping to reduce eye strain when compared with single-vision lenses. When compared to the use of single-vision contact lenses, MiSight^® multifocal contact lenses can slow the progression of myopia by as much as 50%.

Orthokeratology, often abbreviated to Ortho-K, is a non-surgical way to reshape the cornea. This treatment involves wearing specialized contact lenses while you sleep, gently reshaping your eyes to provide clear, crisp vision the next day. With consistent wear, the progression of myopia can be reduced.

Low-dose atropine administered through eye drops is another method used to slow myopia progression. Atropine works by binding to specific growth receptors in the eyes, helping to block the stimulation that causes myopia progression. With atropine myopia control, you will likely still need to wear glasses or contacts. However, atropine eye drops can help prevent the need for stronger and stronger lens prescriptions over time.
