Nearsightedness can hinder your child’s development and cause various health issues later in life, making them more susceptible to certain eye diseases.

We’ll get to know your child and their eyes on a deeper level so we can determine which solution will provide them with the best results and comfort.
Why Should I Treat My Child’s Myopia?
The myopia epidemic has been steadily worsening, with the number of cases rapidly increasing each year. The condition itself progresses as your child ages, leading to the need for constant prescription updates and a greater risk of eye diseases.

Myopia Management Corrects Vision & Slows Progression
The sooner we can catch your child’s myopia, the sooner we can preserve what’s left of their vision and protect their eyes from avoidable damage. Even though it can’t be cured entirely, our experienced eye doctors will work with you to create a personalized plan to slow its progression, minimize its development, and safeguard your child’s eyes from associated eye diseases down the road.
Our Myopia Management Solutions
Ortho-K
Ortho-K lenses are custom-designed for each child and temporarily reshape their cornea. In addition to improving your child’s vision, Ortho-K lenses slow myopia’s progression and can be worn at night as they sleep for the utmost comfort.
Atropine Eye Drops
Low doses of atropine eye drops can significantly slow myopia’s progression and prevent severe nearsightedness in children. Depending on the level of your child’s myopia, these drops may be recommended in addition to other solutions, like glasses.
