Success Begins With Sight
Myopia is a growing concern for children and parents around the world, and it’s on the rise in the United States. More than 40% of Americans currently have myopia, and more children are diagnosed daily.
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, causes distance vision to appear blurry while close objects remain in focus. Myopia can be caused by an overly curved cornea or an eyeball that grows too long during childhood. Besides impacting visual acuity, myopia also increases the risk of developing eye diseases in the future.
We offer a range of myopia control techniques to manage eye elongation. There is no cure for myopia, but we can slow its progression to support your child’s long-term eye health. Book their appointment to test for myopia today.
Book AppointmentWhy Myopia Control Matters
Good eyesight is crucial for learning, and poor vision can impact a child's academic performance and social development. Vision problems may cause them to struggle with schoolwork or be misdiagnosed with behavioral issues.
Severe myopia can also lead to more serious conditions later on. The risk of retinal detachment, cataracts, and open-angle glaucoma may be higher for people with high myopia.
As myopia cannot be reversed, detecting it early leads to better outcomes in slowing myopia progression and maintaining your child’s vision. While traditional glasses or contact lenses can correct nearsightedness, they do not prevent myopia from worsening rapidly during childhood, as myopia control does.
Book AppointmentCauses of Myopia
Myopia affects how light focuses on the retina, the tissue at the back of the eye that helps provide your vision. It can develop when the eye grows too long or if the cornea becomes too curved. This impacts how light focuses on your retina, leading to blurry vision.
Despite decades of research, the precise causes of myopia are unclear. Evidence suggests it is hereditary and that time spent doing near work, such as reading or screen time, can increase the progression of myopia.
We recommend that parents encourage children to spend time outdoors. Studies show that time outdoors can also slow the progression of myopia in children.
Explore Myopia Control Today
Because myopia can impact the shape of the eyeball, either by growing too long or curving too steeply, changes to eyesight caused by myopia are not reversible. The earlier we detect myopia in your child, the sooner we can employ management strategies to help slow the progression of myopia, preserve their visual clarity, and reduce their future risk of eye diseases.
