Improve your child’s quality of life with the gold standard in myopia control.
Future-Proof Eyes
Correct & Protect Your Child’s Vision, Long Term
Myopia management is an innovative way to treat nearsightedness, allowing your child to have better vision and fewer health issues in the future. With myopia management, your child will get tailored care to slow down the progression of their myopia, allowing them to make the most of their childhood.
Why Aren’t Glasses Enough for Nearsightedness?
Myopia management truly treats nearsightedness, unlike glasses. While glasses correct vision when worn, they don’t address the underlying issue of myopia itself. Myopia management, on the other hand, works to slow down or even halt the progression of myopia, reducing the need for stronger prescriptions over time. This approach improves your child’s vision and enhances their quality of life by decreasing the long-term dependence on corrective eyewear and lowering the risk of future eye diseases linked to severe myopia, such as glaucoma and retinal detachment.
Myopia Management Addresses
the Underlying Problem
By reshaping the cornea and controlling nearsightedness progression as your child grows, myopia management methods address the source of myopia: a lengthened cornea. These methods are particularly effective in children whose eyes are still developing, allowing for more significant and lasting results. This is important because myopia typically progresses with age, usually stabilizing in adulthood. By intervening early with myopia management, we can prevent the rapid worsening of vision, reduce the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, and ensure that your child can enjoy clear, healthy vision.
