Myopia Management
Nearsightedness, medically known as myopia, refers to vision that is good at close range but not at a distance. Nearsightedness occurs when the eyeball is longer than normal, as measured from front to back.
Myopia typically starts to develop in childhood and often progresses until about age 20. Slowing the progression is important because it may reduce the risk of developing serious eye conditions later in life such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and blindness.
Our office provides a myopia management program that includes the most recent innovations in slowing down myopic progression. We focus on creating an individualized treatment plan that works best for your child’s needs.
