Specialty contact lenses are one option within our myopia management care for children and teens. We use precise measurements and steady follow-up to support clear vision and long-term eye health as your child grows.
What Are Specialty Contact Lenses for Myopia Management?
Specialty contact lenses for myopia management are designed differently from standard contact lenses. In addition to helping your child see clearly, they are selected to support a myopia plan focused on slowing progression over time.
At Eye Rx - Stone Ridge, our eye doctor explains what the lenses are designed to do, how they work and care, and what monitoring looks like so families know what to expect.

How Specialty Contact Lenses Support Myopia Care
Myopia management is designed to slow progression, not to eliminate nearsightedness. Specialty contact lenses are selected as part of a broader strategy that includes careful measurements, education, and follow-up visits to monitor changes over time.
Our Stone Ridge office uses corneal topography to support precise evaluation and ongoing monitoring, especially when a child’s vision is changing quickly.
Evaluation and First Fitting
A specialty contact lens evaluation includes a review of your child’s vision history, a medical eye health assessment, and measurements used to guide lens selection. If your child is a candidate, we provide training for insertion, removal, cleaning, and safe wear.
Follow-up visits are scheduled to confirm comfort, assess vision, and monitor eye health as part of the myopia care plan.
Living with Specialty Contact Lenses
Successful wear depends on consistent routines and good hygiene. Our optometrist provides clear instructions and ongoing guidance so your child can feel confident and comfortable.
If symptoms such as redness, discomfort, or changes in vision occur, we will guide you on the next steps and adjust the plan when needed.
