Myopia Management at Cincinnati Vision Group: Why It Matters & How We Can Help

At Cincinnati Vision Group, we care deeply about protecting your child’s long-term vision. Our experienced doctors not only stay at the forefront of myopia research and treatment, but they also love working with children and have years of hands-on experience helping young patients feel comfortable and cared for.

We’re seeing more and more kids develop myopia—also known as nearsightedness—and we know how critical it is to intervene early. Myopia isn’t just about needing glasses. Without the right management, it can progress rapidly, leading to stronger prescriptions and a significantly higher risk of serious eye conditions like retinal detachment, cataracts, and macular degeneration later in life.

That’s why our team offers the most up-to-date, kid-friendly myopia management options designed to slow progression and protect your child’s vision for the future.

What Are Myopia Management Options?

Specialty Glasses & Contact Lenses Specially designed lenses can correct vision while slowing myopia progression—often by up to 60%. They’re most effective when they start in childhood.

Introducing MiSight 1-Day Contact Lenses

MiSight lenses are daily contacts FDA-approved for slowing myopia in children. They correct vision and use advanced technology to reduce eye strain and slow eye growth. They’re easy to use, comfortable to wear, and great for active kids. We partner with CooperVision and are able to provide outstanding rebates to our patients, making this option as cost effective as possible!

Atropine Eyedrops

Low-dose atropine drops reduce stress on the eyes and help prevent the eye from growing too long (a key cause of myopia). These are ideal for young patients and are simple to use.

Ortho-K (Orthokeratology)

These overnight lenses gently reshape the front of the eye while you sleep. In the morning, you wake up with clear vision—no glasses or daytime contacts needed. Ortho-K is safe, non-invasive, and FDA-approved for kids as young as 7.

Why Start Now?

The earlier myopia is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome. Slowing its progression now reduces the risk of high myopia and serious complications later. Plus, your child will enjoy:

• More freedom during sports and activities

• Less reliance on glasses

• Fewer worries about broken or lost eyewear

• A boost in confidence and independence
