If your child has been diagnosed with myopia, you’re not alone - more children are developing nearsightedness at younger ages than ever before. The good news is that advancements in pediatric eye care now allow us to slow down the progression of myopia rather than simply correcting distance vision with glasses.
 

Why Myopia Progression Matters

Myopia isn’t just about blurry distance vision. When left unmanaged, myopia tends to worsen each year, and higher levels of nearsightedness increase the risk of long-term eye health complications such as:

• Retinal detachment

• Early cataracts

• Glaucoma

• Myopic maculopathy

That’s why early detection and management are essential for giving your child the best visual future possible.
 

Regular Pediatric Eye Exams Are Your First Line of Defense

Routine pediatric eye exams allow us to monitor changes in your child’s vision and detect signs of progression early. These exams give us a clear picture of how quickly your child’s eyes are growing and help us determine which form of myopia control will be most effective.

During your child’s exam, our eye doctors evaluate more than just clarity of sight - we assess eye health, focusing abilities, and axial eye length, all of which are key to understanding and managing myopia.
 

How We Slow Progression

Modern myopia management involves specialized treatment methods designed to slow the eye’s growth and reduce the rate at which nearsightedness increases.
