[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hi. My [b]eye doctor[/b] said my 8 year old now needs glasses and because the change over the past year is dramatic, suggested Stellest lenses.

They are incredibly expensive and the pressure from[b] the doctor[/b] to get them immediately from Lenscrafters gave me a wierd vibe....(the doctors office is next to lenscrafters).

Please let me know if your child has worn these and what your experience was.

Any other options for myopia control?

Thanks.[/quote]

Is this a pediatric ophthalmologist/MD?  If not I would definitely see one first.

We use atropine eye drops very successfully (prescribed by a pediatric ophthalmologist at a major children's hospital).[/quote]

+1 to the pediatric opthamologist and atropine drops. My SIL's myopia was literally cured by a strong dose in a clinical trial decades ago. For reasons that I don't completely understand they no longer give such a strong dose. DD was given a very weak dose for 2 years that stopped her myopia progression. Stopped for a year and her vision got worse. Got a slightly stronger dose for a year and her vision returned to almost where it had been before she stopped! We're big believers in the drops. Also in opthamologists not being slightly scammy salesmen/women.[/quote]
