Myopia Management
Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming more common in children. If left unmanaged, it can increase the risk of serious eye problems later in life, such as retinal damage, glaucoma, and vision loss.
Regular glasses or contacts only help children see clearly—they do not slow down the eye from growing too long, which causes myopia to worsen.
We Can Help Slow Myopia
Our Myopia Management Program is designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness using proven, research based treatments. Your doctor will work closely with your family to explain the options and help choose the best plan for your child’s vision and lifestyle.
