Is your child struggling to see the board at school or the television at home? Are objects in the distance blurry? If so, one potential cause is short-sightedness—or what eye care professionals call myopia. When your child has myopia, their eyes are growing too long, and light focuses in front of the retina. This blurs their vision, so they need spectacles or contact lenses to see clearly.

Did you know? 8 in 10 eye care professionals agree that they worry about their paediatric patients having significant eye health issues, such as retinal detachment or glaucoma, later in their lives due to the progression of their myopia.2 And that risk multiplies as a child’s prescriptions get stronger.3

Thanks to ActivControl® Technology, short-sighted children can now enjoy freedom from glasses when wearing their contact lenses and significantly slow the progression of their myopia at the same time.1

Benefits:

childhood myopia

Specifically designed to reduce the progression of myopia (short-sightedness) in children1; helping to control the axial length and refractive error increases of the eye in children which can help to reduce the risk of myopia-related vision complications later in life.4
