Personalized Solutions to Support Lifelong Vision
Myopia management is one of our most important services because we understand the importance of clear vision for growing eyes. Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common in children, often progressing rapidly as they grow.
If left unchecked, it can raise the risk of serious eye health issues later in life, which is why we take a proactive, personalized approach to help slow myopia progression. We use modern technology and proven treatments not just to correct vision, but to protect it.
We offer several treatment options and combinations to suit your child’s unique needs. Book an eye exam to learn more about myopia management options today!

What Is Myopia?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, means your child can typically see nearby objects clearly, but things in the distance look blurry. It happens when the eyeball grows too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina (the back of the eye) rather than directly on it.
If your child is squinting, moving closer to screens or books, or complaining of tired eyes, it may be time for a comprehensive eye exam.
What Is Myopia Management?
Myopia control is a set of evidence-based treatments designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teens. While regular glasses or contact lenses correct blurred vision, they don’t prevent myopia from worsening.
We offer a range of myopia control options, including daily contact lenses, overnight lenses, specialized glasses, low-dose atropine drops, and combination strategies tailored to your child’s needs. Each plan is personalized based on their age, lifestyle, prescription, and how their eyes are changing over time.
Why Myopia Management Matters
Myopia isn’t just about blurry distance vision. It’s about protecting your child’s eye health over time. As myopia worsens, the eyeball continues to stretch, which can increase the risk of more serious conditions in adulthood, like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts.
High myopia (typically a prescription of more than -6.00D) carries a significantly higher chance of long-term vision complications. The earlier we start myopia management, the more we can do to slow progression and protect your child’s eyesight for the future.
Our Myopia Management Options
We offer a variety of myopia management treatments to help slow the progression of nearsightedness. Traditional glasses and contact lenses correct blurred vision, but they don’t address the underlying eye growth that causes myopia to worsen over time.
No two kids are the same, and neither are their eyes. We’ll take the time to create a customized care plan that fits your child’s vision needs, comfort level, and lifestyle. Some families prefer glasses or drops, while others may be ready for daily or overnight contact lenses.
In some cases, combining 2 treatments can provide even better results. The key is regular monitoring, thoughtful guidance, and options that grow with your child. After a thorough assessment and conversation with you, we’ll help you decide which option, or combination, makes the most sense for your child.
Low-dose atropine drops are used once nightly to slow down eye growth in children. These drops have been shown to reduce myopia progression with few side effects.
They’re a good option for children who may not be ready for contact lenses or want a noninvasive approach. We closely monitor progress to confirm that the drops are effective and well tolerated.
MiSight 1 Day lenses are soft, daily disposable contact lenses clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia in children. These lenses correct vision during the day while also using a special optical design to reduce the stimulus that causes the eye to grow too long.
They’re easy to use, hygienic, and great for active kids or families looking for a glasses-free solution.
Orthokeratology (ortho-k) involves the use of custom-designed contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the front surface of the eye. In the morning, your child wakes up with clear, unaided vision all day. There’s no need for glasses or contacts.
In addition to correcting vision, ortho-k helps slow myopia progression and is ideal for active kids.
We offer specialized myopia control glasses, including
ZEISS MyoCare,Hoya MiYOSMART and, MiSight spectacle lenses. These lenses provide clear central vision while using peripheral defocus technology to help slow eye growth.
They’re a comfortable, noninvasive option for children who prefer glasses or are new to vision correction. Stylish and effective, they can be worn all day just like traditional glasses.
Sometimes, combining treatments, like low-dose atropine drops with MiSight lenses or glasses, can offer greater control over myopia progression. These tailored plans are based on your child’s rate of change, lifestyle, and their response to individual treatments.
We regularly monitor and adjust the plan to keep your child’s vision on track.
Our Diagnostic Technology
Managing myopia effectively starts with understanding how your child’s eyes are growing. We use the Topcon MYAH, a diagnostic system specifically designed for myopia management. With this technology, we can gather detailed, accurate data about your child’s eyes, going well beyond what a standard eye exam can provide.
The MYAH combines 3 critical tools into one gentle, noninvasive test: axial length measurement, corneal topography, and pupillography. These tools enable us to track how the eye is changing over time, assess the effectiveness of a treatment, and make more personalized decisions for your child’s care.
This level of detail means we don’t just guess, we track. By using MYAH at regular check-ins, we can build a visual health record that helps guide long-term care with clarity and confidence.
Axial length measurement allows us to measure your child’s eye from front to back. It’s one of the most accurate ways to track myopia progression.
The axial length shows how much the eye is physically growing, and with regular measurements, we can monitor changes more precisely and adjust treatments accordingly.
Corneal topography maps the surface of the cornea in detail. This is especially important for fitting ortho-k lenses since we want them to reshape the eye safely and effectively.
It’s also helpful for identifying early signs of corneal conditions like keratoconus or astigmatism, which can impact lens fit and comfort.
Pupillography measures how the pupil responds to light, which helps us better understand your child’s visual system and how they may respond to different treatments. It’s especially helpful in customizing contact lenses or selecting the best lens design for comfort and clarity in varying light conditions.
