Passion and the art of treating myopia (nearsightedness) in children

Proper and effective treatment of myopia (nearsightedness) in children is a time-consuming process that many doctors are not willing to undertake. It is critical to find a doctor who stays current on the latest myopia control options and has the experience and compassion needed to restore your child’s vision.

​

The term “myopia control” is used to describe a variety of treatments that are designed to slow the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness, in children.  Myopia control in children can reduce the risk of issues associated with high myopia later in a child’s life, including cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and in some cases blindness.
