Childhood myopia is rising worldwide. Learn about MiSight lenses, Stellest glasses, and other myopia management options available at Clear Sight Hawaii in Pearl City.
Nearsightedness (myopia) in children is increasing — more screen time, less outdoor play, and genetic factors all play a role. The good news: we can now do more than just prescribe stronger glasses each year.
Why Myopia Management Matters
High myopia increases the risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and other serious eye conditions later in life. Slowing myopia progression during childhood can protect long-term eye health.
Options at Clear Sight Hawaii
Dr. Jana Murakami offers evidence-based myopia management tailored to each child:
- MiSight daily contact lenses — FDA-approved soft lenses designed to slow myopia progression
- Multifocal soft contact lenses — an alternative for some children
- Stellest lenses — specialized myopia-control eyeglass lenses
- Low-dose atropine eye drops — prescribed when appropriate
We do not offer ortho-k (overnight corneal reshaping lenses) at this practice.
First Exam at Age 1
The American Optometric Association recommends a first comprehensive eye exam at 1 year old, then annual exams thereafter. Early detection of vision problems helps children succeed in school and sports.
