Myopia Management Solutions at Dr Elmalem and Associates
Remember when you could sit in the back of the classroom without squinting to read the board? For many children today, that is becoming harder, not just because of screen time. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is on the rise and shows up earlier in life.
At Dr Elmalem and Associates, here in Newmarket and Richmond Hill patients often need stronger prescriptions yearly. That is why we are passionate about offering solutions to help slow things down and protect your child’s vision for the future.
Why Myopia Management Matters
Myopia isn’t just about needing glasses to see clearly. If left untreated, it can lead to serious risks like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration later in life, especially when prescriptions become very high. The earlier we manage it, the better chance we have of keeping your child’s eyes healthier for longer.
Managing myopia early can help:
Slow or even halt prescription changes
Support better vision for school and sports
Reduce the risk of developing long-term eye complications
Solutions We Offer at Dr Elmalem and Associates
We take a personalized approach to each child’s needs and offer several effective, clinically backed treatment options:
MiSight 1 Day Lenses
These FDA-approved daily disposable soft contact lenses are designed specifically to slow the progression of myopia in children. Easy to use and comfortable, they work throughout the day to support better vision and healthier eye development.
Abiliti™
These lenses are customized for your child’s unique corneal shape. Abiliti™ lenses are worn overnight and combine vision correction with proven myopia control benefits.
Low-Dose Atropine Drops
For some children, especially younger ones, or those not ready for contact lenses, low-dose atropine eye drops offer a simple, non-invasive way to help slow myopia progression. Just one drop in each eye at bedtime.
Stellest™ Lenses
These innovative spectacle lenses by Essilor use lens technology that targets myopia progression while correcting vision. They are designed for all-day wear and are especially great for children who prefer glasses.
MiyoSmart™ Lenses
Another excellent glasses option, these lenses use Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments (DIMS) technology to manage myopia progression. They are durable, comfortable, and backed by years of research.
How to Choose the Right Myopia Solution

At Dr Elmalem and Associates, we take the time to walk you through the options based on what is best for your child’s vision, lifestyle, and comfort.
Here are some key factors to think about when making this decision:
