MYOSTOP LENSES FOR CHILDREN
“Has the prescription gone up again?” It is the question every parent asks at the check-up. Ordinary glasses correct myopia, but they do not stop it from growing. MyoStop lenses are made for exactly this: to slow down myopia progression in children and teenagers. Italoptik brought them to Albania for the first time.
Why it matters
When myopia grows a lot, so does the risk of serious eye problems in adult life. The earlier we act, the lower your child’s final prescription stays.
What MyoStop lenses bring
- Clear vision all day long, at school, at play and in front of a screen
- Slower myopia progression, meaning a smaller increase year after year
- At least 25% thinner than standard lenses, for lighter, nicer glasses
- Comfortable from morning to night
Signs to watch for
- Squints to see far away
- Sits very close to the TV or holds the phone near the face
- Complains of headaches or tired eyes after school
How often?
For children with myopia we recommend a check-up every 6–12 months, or whenever the doctor advises.
