Stop Myopia Progression Before It Worsens
Every day matters in protecting your child’s vision. Our clinically proven treatments—customized for young eyes—can slow myopia progression by up to 78%.
Take the first step: A 15-minute consultation could change their visual future.
Why Myopia Management Matters
Myopia management is more than just correcting blurry vision; it’s about protecting your child’s eyes for the future. When left untreated, myopia (nearsightedness) can worsen over time, increasing the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular disease.
By starting myopia management early, we can slow down how quickly it progresses. In fact, studies show it can reduce myopia progression by up to 78%.
Treatments can include special eyeglasses, contact lenses, or low-dose eye drops – each one has been proven to help control nearsightedness safely and effectively. The earlier you start, the better the results for your child’s long-term vision health.

About Myopia Frequently Asked Questions
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry, while close-up objects remain clear. It happens when the eye grows too long, or the cornea is too curved.
Mild myopia isn’t usually dangerous, but high or rapidly progressing myopia can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, or macular disease.
Common signs include squinting, sitting too close to screens, holding books very close, or complaining about blurry distance vision. An eye exam is the only way to confirm myopia.
Early treatment helps. Limiting screen time, encouraging outdoor play, and starting a myopia management program with glasses, contacts, or eye drops can slow progression.
As soon as myopia is detected. Early intervention gives the best chance to slow progression and protect long-term eye health.
Yes, myopia usually progresses as children grow, especially between the ages of 6 and 17. That’s why regular checkups and early management are important.
Start as soon as myopia is diagnosed. Early treatment helps control progression and reduce future risks.
Myopia affects distance vision, while astigmatism causes blurry or distorted vision at all distances due to an irregularly shaped cornea. Both can occur together and are correctable.
Children should have an eye exam at least once a year—or more often if they have myopia or other vision concerns. Early and regular exams are key to catching changes in vision.
There’s no single “best” treatment—the ideal option depends on your child’s age, lifestyle, and myopia severity. The most effective evidence-based treatments include:
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Custom overnight lenses that reshape the cornea, slowing progression by up to 50% and eliminating daytime glasses/contacts.
- Low-dose atropine drops: Daily medicated drops (0.01%–0.05%) that slow eye elongation with minimal side effects.
- Multifocal contact lenses: Daytime lenses (e.g., MiSight®) that blur peripheral vision to reduce eye growth.
- Lifestyle adjustments: Increased outdoor time (1+ hours/day) and reduced near-work screen time can complement treatments.
A personalized plan from a pediatric myopia specialist is key, as combining treatments (e.g., atropine + Ortho-K) may enhance results.
Yes, Ortho-K is FDA-approved and clinically proven safe for children when properly fitted and maintained.
| Treatment | Best For | Pros | Cons |
| Ortho-K | Active kids, sports, or those wanting daytime freedom | Non-surgical, slows progression by 50%, no daytime lenses | Requires nightly wear, strict hygiene, higher cost |
| Atropine drops | Younger children (5+), those uncomfortable with lenses | Easy daily use, minimal side effects at low doses | May cause light sensitivity; long-term commitment needed |
| Glasses | Mild myopia or kids not ready for contacts/lenses | Affordable, low maintenance | Doesn’t slow progression; frequent prescription updates |
- Your child’s prescription stability and corneal health.
- Their ability to handle lenses/drops (e.g., younger kids may prefer atropine).
- Lifestyle needs (e.g., sports, screen time)
