In a recent study, several behaviors were found to be helpful in preventing myopia development/progression in children. Somewhat surprisingly, the strongest preventive measure was having a longer near working distance.

@CaryEyeCare Good article. Bottom line is that behavior and environment definitely impact myopia risk (along with genetic factors). It is possible to affect a child's risk of myopia.

Check out the latest research on the effect of virtual school on myopia progression. If it seems like children are getting more nearsighted during the pandemic, it's because they are! #research #myopia

Overnight Sight success story alert. Today we had a patient come in for his annual exam who has been wearing Overnight Sight for 7 years. To date he has had NO increase in myopia over this time. He is now a freshman in college! #overnightsight #myopiacontrol #shoplocal

Dr. Dwight had fun this morning volunteering by providing free eye exams to elementary school students in Durham. Thanks to the @durhamtech Opticianry program for organizing, and thanks to @essilorusa for donating to support this great cause! #helpingothers #givingback

MiSight is the first contact lens to receive FDA approval for slowing myopia progression. We were among the first in the country to be certified to prescribe MiSight. This article (featuring comments from our own Dr. Dwight) discusses this technology! https://t.co/gIUPdBt6oD

A recent study in JAMA confirms what we suspected. COVID-19 pandemic was not good for myopia risk. Myopia management programs like Overnight Sight, MiSight, and atropine help to counteract this progression.

MiSight is a daily disposable soft contact lens that is FDA approved to slow the rate of myopia progression. Dr. Dwight is certified in providing this service. Ask us how this can benefit your nearsighted child. #brilliantfutures #MiSight #myopiacontrol

Axial length is the front-to-back length of the eye. It increases as children grow, but when they are becoming more nearsighted the increase is faster than it should be. This video explains more. #myopiacontrol #shoplocal #overnightsight

If you have HSA/Flex spending funds left at the end of the year glasses, sunglasses and contacts are a great way to use them. We also have nutritional supplements, contact lens solution, and dry eye products like artificial tears and DERM masks available. #shoplocal #almost2021
