Our proven treatment options can help slow the progression of myopia and protect your child’s long-term vision.
Myopia (nearsightedness) makes distant objects look blurry while close-up vision remains clear.
It occurs when the eye grows too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina.
In children, myopia can worsen quickly as they grow, making early management important.
Myopia can be inherited from one generation to the next. If mom or dad wears glasses, the chance that their child will also need glasses increases.
A lack of time spent outdoors in natural sunlight has been linked to the development of myopia.
Spending significant time focusing up close on digital devices can also contribute to a child’s myopia.
Spend at least 1-2 hours per day outside, as this has been proven to protect the eyes from elongation.
Limit screen time and near work to help reduce eye strain and eye elongation.
Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look 20 feet away to reset the eye’s focusing system.
The best and most effective way to address myopia progression in your child.
