What is Myopia?
Myopia (nearsightedness) is more than blurry distance vision. As a child’s prescription increases, the eye continues to grow longer. This increased eye length raises the lifetime risk of:
​
-
Retinal detachment
-
Glaucoma
-
Myopic maculopathy
-
Early cataracts
​
Slowing progression early can significantly reduce long-term eye health risks.

What Makes Our Program Different?
Unlike a standard yearly eye exam, our Myopia Management Program:
​
-
Measures and monitors eye growth (axial length), not just prescription
-
Provides personalized, evidence-based treatment plans
-
Focuses on proactive care — not just stronger lenses
-
Includes follow-up visits every 3–6 months
-
Offers ongoing education and support for families

Is My Child a Candidate?
Your child may benefit if they:
​
-
Are already nearsighted
-
Have a prescription that worsens each year
-
Have one or both parents who are nearsighted
-
Spend significant time on near work or screens
-
Spend limited time outdoors
​
During a consultation, we evaluate your child’s individual risk factors and discuss the best treatment options.
