Why choose us?

If you or your child can see nearby objects clearly but struggle to see things at a distance — like road signs, whiteboards, or TVs — nearsightedness may be the reason. Also known as myopia, this common vision condition affects millions and tends to worsen over time without treatment.

What Is Nearsightedness?

Nearsightedness occurs when the shape of your eye causes light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This leads to:

Blurry distance vision
Squinting when looking far away
Eyestrain or fatigue
Headaches, especially after visual tasks
Trouble seeing clearly while driving — especially at night

Nearsightedness often starts in childhood and can progress rapidly during school-age years and adolescence.

Nearsightedness in Children: Act Early

Today’s kids are spending more time indoors and on screens, which may increase the risk of developing progressive myopia. Left unchecked, it can lead to high prescriptions and increase the risk of future eye conditions.

At Clearview Family Eyecare, we offer Myopia Management services to help slow down progression and protect long-term vision. This may include:

Specialized contact lenses (like MiSight® or ortho-k lenses)
Prescription eye drops
Lifestyle recommendations, including more outdoor time
