What to expect

Myopia Control for Children.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, means your child can see things up close but has trouble seeing far away. In many children, myopia gets worse every year as the eyes grow.
Time is of the essence. The earlier myopia is detected and managed, the better chance we have of slowing it down and protecting your child’s long-term eye health.

Meet Dr. Zara Akhter.

Process

A structured myopia control program.

Myopia management follows a measured pathway, tracking prescription change and building a plan that supports long-term visual development.
01

Baseline progression review

We assess current prescription trend, age, family history, outdoor time, near-work patterns, and visual demands.

02

Control option assessment

MiYOSMART iQ lenses are now available at Peel Eye Care in Brampton for CA$749 with a frame. Book an assessment to discuss suitable options for your child.

03

Program selection

Your doctor recommends the most suitable plan for your child’s risk profile, maturity, lifestyle, and comfort.

04

Monitoring and adjustments

Regular follow-ups track progression and allow timely adjustments to maintain control outcomes.

Why iT MATTERS

Why myopia control matters

Myopia management is most useful when a child’s nearsightedness is progressing or risk factors suggest close monitoring is needed.

Myopia control glasses

Myopia-control glasses correct your child’s distance vision while helping slow further progression. At Peel Eye Care, we help families choose a lens based on age, prescription, progression and everyday needs, with follow-up to assess how treatment is working.

Stellest (original design / 1.0)

Uses H.A.L.T. lenslet technology. Randomized studies show slower prescription progression and eye growth compared with ordinary single-vision glasses. Consistent daily wear matters.

Read the randomized study

Stellest 2.0

Uses the newer H.A.L.T. MAX design. A published study in children aged 6–10 found less eye growth than with original Stellest in a one-year within-child crossover comparison. Its long-term evidence is still developing.

Read the comparison study

MiYOSMART

Uses D.I.M.S. technology. A two-year randomized trial found slower prescription progression and eye growth than with ordinary single-vision glasses, with additional long-term follow-up research.

Read the D.I.M.S. trial

MiYOSMART iQ

Uses an updated D.I.M.S. Triple Enhanced Design. Manufacturer-reported 12-month trial results in children aged 4–12 are promising. These efficacy findings were presented at a scientific conference; longer-term results will help clarify sustained benefits.

Which lens is right for my child?

There is no single best choice for every child. We explain the evidence, assess suitability and monitor response. Study averages cannot predict an individual child’s result, and myopia-control lenses do not cure myopia or guarantee that progression will stop.

All myopia control glasses packages include a 12–15 month prescription warranty on the lenses, a 12–15 month scratch warranty on the lenses, and a 1-year warranty on the frame.

Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine eye drops may help slow myopia progression in some children. Suitability and response vary. An eye-care professional can explain the potential benefits, side effects such as light sensitivity or blurred near vision, and the regular follow-up needed to monitor treatment. Atropine should be prescribed and monitored by an eye-care professional.

At Peel Eye Care, our goal is to help your child see clearly today while helping slow myopia progression for the future. Early treatment can make a meaningful difference, so parents should not wait until the prescription gets much worse before asking about myopia control.
