New 2025 study (BMC Ophthalmology, DOI: 10.1186/s12886-025-04265-8) shows:
👉 Kids in OrthoK do better when follow-ups are regular.
👉 Axial length, not just prescription, shows if myopia is really under control.
Follow-up = better future vision.

J has been wearing OrthoK for 20+ years. Once a week = 20/20 vision.

OrthoK = overnight lens that reshapes the eye while you sleep. Works for kids and adults at any age. Great option if you don’t like glasses or LASIK.

I want a solar alarm clock for kids: goes off every 30 mins, only stops after 5 mins in the sun. Myopia prevention + peace & quiet for parents. Doesn’t exist… yet.

👁️ Every eye is a little universe👁️

Kids don’t always say when they can’t see well. I always recommend getting their eyes checked before school starts.

Is your child always sitting close to the TV?
That’s not “just a habit.” It could be myopia—and the sooner we catch it, the better.

Kids with myopia feel more anxious—studies show it.
One study even showed 13–14 year olds with myopia had way higher trait anxiety.
👁️ Helping them see better is just the start.

I’ve officially seen too many scleral lenses…
Even my Windows screensaver looks like one mid-insertion 😵💫👁️

Send help. Or more complex fits.

Ortho-K lenses do more than correct vision while your child sleeps.
They also slow the progression of myopia.

At Clairemont Optometry Myopia Treatment Center, we specialize in Ortho-K for Kids.

Being honest with parents is not fearmongering. It’s responsible care.

“Your child’s eyes are getting worse”

“There’s good news. We can do something about it.”

What does “all hands on deck” collaboration look like in myopia care? Myopia isn’t a clinician-only problem. And it isn’t an industry-only solution.
