Slow your child’s vision deterioration with advanced spectacle therapy using MiyoSmart or Stellest lenses, available at Dr. J. Deol & Associates Family Eye Care in Brampton.
Why Is Myopia on the Rise in Brampton?
At Dr. J. Deol & Associates Family Eye Care, our optometrists are seeing a steady increase in children diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness) throughout Brampton. Many parents are now seeking proactive, non-invasive options to help slow changes in their child’s prescription.
Several factors contribute to this growing trend:
- Increased screen time and reduced outdoor activity
- Higher academic demands requiring prolonged near focus
- Genetics, particularly when one or both parents are nearsighted
Progressive myopia is more than a vision inconvenience. Higher levels of myopia are associated with increased risk of eye health issues later in life, including glaucoma and retinal complications. This is why early myopia management plays such an important role in protecting long-term eye health.
What Is Spectacle Therapy?
Spectacle therapy is a form of myopia management that uses specially designed eyeglass lenses to help slow the progression of myopia, not just correct blurred distance vision.
As part of our comprehensive myopia management services, Dr. J. Deol & Associates Family Eye Care offers innovative spectacle-based options that children wear just like regular glasses. These lenses are designed to support healthier eye growth during critical developmental years.
Unlike traditional eyeglasses, myopia control lenses are designed to help slow prescription changes over time, which may reduce the likelihood of high myopia later in life.
MiyoSmart vs. Stellest: Which Myopia Glasses Are Right for Your Child?
We offer two leading spectacle therapy options for children in Brampton, both supported by clinical research.
- MiyoSmart Lenses by Hoya
MiyoSmart lenses use Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (D.I.M.S.) technology. Clinical studies have shown these lenses can significantly slow myopia progression when worn consistently. They are lightweight, durable, and well suited for active children. - Stellest Lenses by Essilor
Stellest lenses feature Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target (H.A.L.T.) technology. Clinical trials have demonstrated meaningful reductions in myopia progression over time. These lenses are designed to provide clear vision while supporting everyday comfort.
Our optometrists will assess your child’s prescription history, visual habits, and lifestyle to help determine which option is most appropriate.
Is Spectacle Therapy Right for Your Child?
Your child may be a good candidate for myopia control glasses if they:
- Are between 6 and 16 years old
- Have a prescription that is increasing year after year
- Squint to see distant objects like classroom boards
- Spend extended time on screens or close-up tasks
- Have a family history of nearsightedness
Our doctors take a family-focused approach, guiding parents through available options and answering questions every step of the way. You can learn more about our providers by visiting our optometric team.
