Myopia, or nearsightedness, is one of the most common forms of eye conditions that affect patients. It is a refractive error of the eye which makes objects further away seem blurry but nearby objects clear.
Our optometrists at Complete Family Eyecare are highly experienced with dealing with the condition and can offer you a variety of options to help treat your symptoms. Book your appointment today!
Myopia can be diagnosed quite easily with an eye exam and can be detected during childhood. Depending on the patient, myopia can start to develop as a result of genetics, but external factors like digital eye strain have been seen to cause symptoms of myopia.
Because of how common myopia is among patients, there are a variety of ways to treat the condition. One of the most common ways is to prescribe glasses that can provide refractive correctness to your eyes.
Contact lenses have also developed new technology to help reduce the progression of myopia. Ortho-K hard lenses are worn at night, gently reshaping your cornea while you sleep to provide you clearer vision when you wake up.
MiyoSmart lenses have been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children. Ask the team at Complete Family Eye Care which treatment is right for your child!
Atropine Therapy are daily drops containing low-dose atropine which show promising results for slowing the progression of myopia in children. Atropine drops make a significant impact on a child’s vision changes and side effects from the drops are minimal.
Stellest Lens by Essilor The Stellest lens has been shown in clinical trials to slow down myopia progression by an average of 67% compared to single vision lenses, when worn 12 hours a day. After wearing the lens for 1 year, 9/10 children had eye growth that was similar or slower than non myopic children. Stellest lenses work by correcting the vision and controlling myopia by using H.A.L.T technology. This new technology created by Essilor is a unique innovation tailored to the myopic eye, and consists of a constellation of 1021 lenslets that are spread over 11 rings that creates a volume of signal which slows down the elongation of the eye and keeps myopia progression in check.

“Dr. Chatoo is by far the kindest and most down-to-earth physician I have ever met. My cousin liked the glasses I got from her office so much that she called Dr. Chatoo to see if she could get herself a pair. Dr. Chatoo actually took the time to help my cousin find the glasses again, calling multiple different places and placing the order for her. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and I will be her patient for life. Thank you so much, Dr. Chatoo!”
“Had the best experience. Very chic and friendly place. Roya is one of the most friendly assistants. I came here for a visit before returning to uni, and she helped me get an appointment, AND my new eyeglasses ready all in less than a week. The doctor is also so detailed and helped explain everything concerning my eyes to me. Will definitely come back for my next check-up.”
