Myopia Management: Stellest™, Ortho-K & MiSight®
Stop your child's prescription from getting worse. Serving Kyle, Buda & South Austin.
"Why is my child's vision getting worse every year?"
If you dread your child's annual eye exam because the numbers keep going up, you aren't alone. This is called Progressive Myopia. It’s not just about thicker glasses—rapidly growing eyes are at higher risk for retinal detachment and glaucoma later in life.
At TSO Kyle, we don't just correct vision; we protect it. We offer the three leading FDA-approved treatments to slow down the progression of nearsightedness.
Control myopia with glasses—no contacts or drops required.
Our Treatment Options
We tailor the treatment to your child's age and lifestyle. Choose the method that fits your family:
1. Essilor® Stellest™ Lenses
Myopia Control GlassesBest for: Kids who aren't ready for contacts.
These look like regular glasses but contain "invisible rings" of powerful microlenses. They signal the eye to stop growing while providing clear vision. Proven to slow myopia by 67%.
2. Ortho-K (Night Lenses)
Also known as: CRT, Corneal Refractive TherapyBest for: Active kids, Swimmers, Sports.
Your child wears a custom mold while they sleep. It gently reshapes the eye overnight. They wake up, take the lens out, and see 20/20 all day—no glasses or contacts needed at school.
3. MiSight® 1 Day
FDA-Approved Myopia Control ContactsBest for: Comfort & Convenience (Ages 8+).
The first soft daily disposable contact lens proven to slow the elongation of the eye. They are easy to use, hygienic, and kid-friendly.
4. Atropine Therapy
Eye Drops for NearsightednessBest for: Younger children (Ages 5+).
A simple, low-dose eye drop administered at bedtime. It relaxes the eye's focusing mechanism and is a great option for children who cannot wear lenses.
Why You Can't "Wait and See"
Myopia is progressive. Once the eye has elongated, we cannot shrink it back. The goal is to hit the brakes during the critical growth years (ages 6 to 16).

Common Questions
Do myopia control glasses (Stellest) really work?
Yes. Essilor® Stellest™ lenses use H.A.L.T. technology (rings of microlenses) to create a signal volume that slows down eye elongation. Clinical trials show they slow down myopia progression by 67% on average when worn 12 hours a day.
How do Ortho-K lenses work?
Ortho-K (or Corneal Refractive Therapy) involves wearing custom mold lenses while sleeping. They gently reshape the cornea overnight so your child can see clearly all day without glasses or contacts.
How much do MiSight contact lenses price?
The price of MiSight treatment varies based on your child's prescription and plan complexity. It is a comprehensive annual program that includes the lenses and all follow-up medical visits. We offer flexible financing options like CareCredit.
