Here is the differences:

Myopia Control: Glasses, Ortho-K or Atropine?

As a child’s myopia (short-sightedness) increases, so does the risk of serious eye diseases later in life. Fortunately, there are effective treatments to help slow its progression.

👓 Myopia Control Spectacle Lenses

• Easy and comfortable to wear
• Non-invasive and suitable for most children
• Slows myopia progression while providing clear vision

🌙 Ortho-K (Overnight Contact Lenses)

• Worn during sleep for clear daytime vision without glasses
• Ideal for active children and sports
• Requires good hygiene and regular follow-up

💧 Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops

• One drop every night
• Helps slow myopia progression
• Often combined with glasses or Ortho-K for better results

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. The best treatment depends on your child’s age, prescription, lifestyle, and how quickly their myopia is progressing. A comprehensive eye examination allows us to recommend the most suitable myopia control plan to protect your child’s vision now and in the future.
