Myopia, or nearsightedness, is more than just needing glasses to see far away. It’s a progressive condition that often starts in childhood and can worsen as kids grow — increasing the risk of serious eye health issues later in life.
What Is Myopia?
Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. This results in:
- Clear vision up close
- Blurry vision at a distance
While glasses and contact lenses correct the blur, they don’t stop myopia from getting worse — that’s where myopia management comes in.
Why Early Intervention Matters
If left unmanaged, progressive myopia can lead to higher prescriptions and an increased risk of:
- Retinal detachment
- Glaucoma
- Myopic maculopathy
- Cataracts
The earlier myopia is detected and managed, the better the long-term outcomes for your child’s vision.
Our Myopia Management Solutions
We offer evidence-based treatment options tailored to your child’s age, prescription, and lifestyle:
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) – Custom night lenses that gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps
- Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses – Worn during the day to slow eye growth while providing clear vision
- Atropine Eye Drops – Low-dose daily drops shown to reduce myopia progression
- Lifestyle Counseling – Recommendations on screen time, outdoor play, and visual habits to support healthy development
We monitor your child’s progress closely and adjust the treatment plan as they grow.
