Your Child’s Friendly Partners in Eye Care
Your child’s eye care plays an essential role in their overall health, well-being, and development, which is why we practice at a high level to deliver exceptional care. We do this by adopting the industry’s best, child-friendly technology and implementing it into care. In the event of a myopia diagnosis, our pediatric eye doctors will learn all about your child’s eyes, lifestyle, and interests and create a tailored management plan that caters to their unique needs and favorite activities!
What is Myopia?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent eye condition that affects children and progresses as they age. For myopia patients, objects up close may appear clear, while those at a distance appear blurry. While prescription glasses can correct the vision issues that myopia causes, they won’t treat the condition itself. Our kind pediatric team uses solutions that also correct the issue — such as reshaping the cornea — to help improve their sight and protect their eyes from further damage.
How Myopia Management
Can Help
Although myopia isn’t curable it can be effectively managed by our caring eye doctors. Detecting nearsightedness as early as possible is crucial to creating better outcomes, which is why it’s important to have your child’s eyes checked regularly. This way, your child benefits the most from improved eyesight in the present and future, a slower progression of myopia, and a decreased likelihood of developing certain eye conditions later on in life.
