Myopia Control Spectacle Lenses
Myopia-control spectacle lenses are specially designed optical lenses that provide clear distance vision while delivering a therapeutic optical signal intended to slow the progression of myopia and reduce excessive axial elongation of the eye.
They are often a suitable option for children who require a non-contact-lens treatment or who are beginning their myopia management journey.
