Specialized Myopia Spectacles

Prescription glasses engineered to correct vision and slow myopia — no contacts or drops required.

Myopia Control Spectacles

Glasses that do more than correct blur.

Specialized myopia control spectacles — including lenses like Essilor Stellest and Hoya MiYOSMART (DIMS technology) — are prescription glasses engineered to correct vision and slow myopia progression at the same time. For families searching for myopia control glasses in NJ or Stellest lenses in Monroe Township, they are an effective contact-free option.

They are an excellent first option for younger children — as young as 6 — who are not yet ready for contact lenses. At Monroe Eye Care, Dr. Miglani evaluates each child’s prescription, lifestyle, and rate of progression before recommending a specific lens design.

How it works

A treatment zone built into the lens.

Unlike standard single-vision glasses, myopia control spectacles surround the central prescription with a treatment zone made of hundreds of tiny lens segments. This creates a myopic defocus effect across the peripheral retina, reducing the signal that drives axial elongation — while your child sees clearly through the center of the lens.

In clinical trials, Stellest lenses have shown up to a 67% reduction in myopia progression, and MiYOSMART approximately 60% slowing, when worn consistently throughout the day.

Choosing an option

Spectacles vs. Ortho-K vs. contacts.

Myopia control glasses

Best for younger kids and families who prefer no contacts or drops. Worn all day — nothing to insert, remove, or clean.

Ortho-K

Best for kids who want to be glasses-free during the day and for sports. Lenses are worn overnight and removed each morning.

Dual-focus contacts

Best for active kids and teens comfortable with daily contacts. They correct vision and slow myopia during waking hours.

Frequently asked

Questions parents ask.

Are myopia control glasses covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan. Some vision plans contribute toward specialty lenses. Our team will check your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs before you order.
How are these different from regular glasses?
Regular glasses only correct blur. Myopia control lenses also include a treatment zone designed to slow the eye’s elongation, helping limit how much your child’s prescription increases over time.
How long does my child need to wear them?
For the best effect, they should be worn during all waking hours, every day. Consistent wear is what produces the slowing seen in clinical studies.
Can we combine glasses with atropine drops?
Yes. Myopia control glasses can be paired with low-dose atropine for children who need extra help slowing progression. Dr. Miglani will tailor the plan.

Ask Dr. Miglani which myopia option is right for your child.
