Bloom Day™ Contact Lenses for Children: Myopia Management by Menicon

Menicon Bloom Day™ is a daily disposable contact lens option used as part of the holistic Menicon Bloom™ Myopia Management Treatment Plan. It has been developed to support the safe and effective management of childhood myopia, while simultaneously correcting vision so children can see clearly during the day.

At Eyecare Kids, our optometrists have a special interest in myopia management and can advise parents on whether Menicon Bloom Day™ is the right fit for their child.

What is Menicon Bloom Day™?

Menicon Bloom Day™ contact lenses are designed to fit seamlessly into a child’s active lifestyle while proactively managing their eye health. These lenses are engineered to:

  • Correct existing short-sightedness to ensure crisp, clear daily vision.
  • Support myopia management by addressing and slowing down rapid eye growth.
  • Offer optimal hygiene and convenience through a daily disposable format, meaning no cleaning or storage solutions are required.

Why Myopia Management Matters

Myopia, or short-sightedness, occurs when the eye grows longer than normal from front to back, a process that commonly accelerates during childhood. Traditional glasses only correct a child’s current vision, but myopia management focuses on slowing down the progression of the condition.

Leaving myopia unchecked can lead to higher prescriptions, which are clinically associated with an increased risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including:

  • Retinal detachment
  • Myopic macular degeneration
  • Glaucoma
  • Cataracts

Myopia management focuses on slowing the progression of myopia, not just correcting vision.

What Causes Myopia?

Myopia is becoming increasingly common worldwide, with projections suggesting nearly 50% of the global population may be myopic by 2050. Research highlights several key factors linked to its development and progression:

  • Genetics: A family history of myopia.
  • Environment: Not enough time spent outdoors
  • Lifestyle: Too much screen time and reading.

Bloom™ Myopia Management Treatment Plan

The Menicon Bloom™ treatment plan is a holistic, evidence-based approach developed to safely and effectively control myopia progression using contact lenses.
