Your Child's Vision
Is Getting Worse.
Here's How to Slow It Down.
If your child's glasses prescription keeps changing, they may have myopia progression — and it doesn't have to keep getting worse. sleepSEE is the nation's leading myopia management system designed to slow it down and give your child clear, glasses-free vision.
The Myopia Crisis Is Real —
And It's Getting Worse
Myopia (nearsightedness) isn't just about needing thicker glasses. Left unchecked, it can lead to serious eye problems later in life.
Right now, nearly 1 in 3 children in the United States has myopia — and that number is growing fast. Experts predict that by 2050, half of the world's population will be nearsighted.
When a child's myopia keeps getting worse year after year, it's called myopia progression. Every increase in prescription means the eyeball is growing longer than it should. And the longer it grows, the higher the risk of serious problems down the road — like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and even vision loss.
A child who reaches -6.00 diopters or higher has a 22x greater risk of retinal problems compared to someone with normal vision. Early intervention matters.
The good news? Myopia progression can be slowed. And the earlier you start, the better the outcome. That's exactly what the sleepSEE system is designed to do.

The sleepSEE System:
More Than Just a Lens
Most myopia treatments give your child one thing. sleepSEE gives them a complete system — because managing myopia takes more than a single solution.
Ortho-K Lenses
Custom-designed, FDA-approved lenses worn only at night. They gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, so they wake up with clear vision — no glasses needed during the day.
Environmental Vision Planning
Screen time, outdoor activity, lighting, and reading distance all affect how fast myopia progresses. Your sleepSEE provider creates a personalized plan to reduce the environmental triggers that make it worse.
Vision Therapy Techniques
Some children benefit from targeted eye exercises that strengthen focusing ability and eye coordination. When needed, your provider adds these techniques to your child's treatment plan for better long-term results.
Other brands give your child a lens. sleepSEE gives your child a plan.

Before — Myopic Eye
In a myopic (nearsighted) eye, the cornea is too curved or the eye is too long. Light focuses in front of the retina instead of on it, causing distant objects to appear blurry.
Glasses-Free Freedom —
Even for Kids Without Myopia Progression
Your child doesn't need to have worsening myopia to benefit from sleepSEE. Many families choose it simply for the lifestyle freedom it provides.
Sports and Activities
Swimming, basketball, soccer, gymnastics — no glasses sliding down, no contacts drying out. Your child sees clearly all day without anything on their face or in their eyes.
No More Broken Glasses
If you're tired of replacing broken frames every few months, you're not alone. sleepSEE system lenses are worn only at night and last up to 2 years with proper care — saving you money and hassle.
Confidence and Self-Esteem
Many children feel self-conscious wearing glasses. sleepSEE lets them show up to school, parties, and photos as themselves — no frames, no labels, just clear vision and confidence.
sleepSEE system lenses last up to 2 years with proper care — compare that to buying new glasses every time they break or the prescription changes.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Getting started with sleepSEE is straightforward. Here's what happens from your first appointment to clear vision.
Comprehensive Eye Exam
A thorough evaluation of your child's vision, eye health, and corneal shape using advanced diagnostic equipment — including corneal topography mapping.
Custom Lens Design
Using precise measurements, your provider designs lenses that are custom-fitted to your child's unique corneal shape. No two pairs of sleepSEE lenses are the same.
Fitting and Training
Your child learns how to insert, remove, and care for their lenses with hands-on guidance. Most kids get comfortable within the first week.
Ongoing Monitoring
Regular check-ups track your child's progress. Your provider adjusts the treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible results over time.
Precision Equipment.
Expert Care.
sleepSEE providers use the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technology available — because your child's eyes deserve nothing less.
Corneal Topography
Creates a detailed 3D map of the corneal surface — like a fingerprint for your child's eye — to design perfectly fitted lenses.
Axial Length Measurement
Tracks the actual length of the eyeball over time — the gold standard for measuring whether myopia progression is slowing down.
Digital Retinal Imaging
High-resolution photos of the back of the eye help your provider monitor overall eye health and catch any changes early.
