👓 Protecting Your Child’s Vision for the Future

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that typically begins in childhood and tends to progress over time. At our practice, we’re committed to helping your child not only see clearly today but also reduce their risk of long-term vision complications through effective myopia control strategies.

👁️ What Is Myopia?

Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. This leads to blurry distance vision and often requires glasses or contact lenses for correction. While glasses can improve sight, they do not stop the progression of the condition.

👓 Why Myopia Control Matters

The progression of myopia in children is more than just a need for stronger and thicker glasses every year. High levels of myopia are associated with an increased risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including:

• Retinal detachment
• Glaucoma
• Cataracts
• Myopic maculopathy
• Slowing the progression of myopia can reduce these risks and help protect your child’s vision long-term.

👁️Evidence-Based Myopia Control Options

We offer a range of clinically proven myopia management options tailored to your child’s needs:

👓 Specialized Myopia Control Glasses

Innovative lenses such as DIMS (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) are designed to correct vision while also slowing eye growth.

👁️ Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses

Worn during the day, these specially designed lenses provide vision correction and help control eye growth through peripheral defocus.

👓 Personalized Treatment Plans

Every child is different. That’s why we create a customized myopia control plan based on your child’s age, prescription, eye health, lifestyle, and progression risk. Regular monitoring and 6 monthly follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the best possible outcomes.

👁️Early intervention is key.
