Myopia Control
Why does it matter?
By 2050, nearly half of the world's population is projected to have myopia. Early detection and regular monitoring during childhood are therefore increasingly important.
Myopia: A Growing Vision Health Concern
Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry. It often begins during childhood and may progress as the eyes grow.
Glasses and contact lenses correct blurred vision, but they do not necessarily slow the progression of myopia.
As myopia increases, the eye may become longer, increasing the long-term risk of complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic macular degeneration
Signs Your Child May Be Nearsighted
Squint to see distant objects.
Sit very close to the TV, classroom board, or screens.
Hold books or devices unusually close to their face.
Complain of blurry distance vision.
Experience frequent headaches or eye strain.
Have a prescription that continues to increase.
Have one or both parents with myopia.
Spend little time outdoors.
Don't wait for your child to notice a problem.
An early evaluation can identify myopia, assess how it is progressing, and determine whether monitoring or myopia management may be appropriate
Our Approach to Myopia Management
Every child is different. We look beyond vision correction to understand and manage myopia progression.
ASSESS
Prescription, eye health, and risk factors.
MONITOR
Track prescription and, when appropriate, eye growth.
MANAGE
Discuss evidence-based options to help slow progression.
FOLLOW UP
Regular visits to monitor progress and adjust the plan.
Our goal
Clear vision today. Healthier eyes for the future.
