Myopia Control
Myopia Control isn’t just about seeing clearly today—it’s about safeguarding your child’s vision for years to come.
Could myopia be affecting your child’s vision long-term?
Helping Slow Nearsightedness—Not Just Correct It
Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common in children and teens. While glasses and contact lenses can help your child see clearly, they do not slow the progression of myopia. Myopia control focuses on slowing eye growth, which may reduce the risk of serious eye health complications later in life.
Our Myopia Control Program is designed to evaluate your child’s individual risk factors and recommend evidence-based treatment options to help manage myopia progression safely and effectively.
Our Myopia Control Evaluation
Every patient begins with a personalized myopia control consultation. During this visit, we:
- Review family and visual history
- Measure prescription changes
- Evaluate corneal shape and eye alignment
- Measure ocular length to track eye growth
- Discuss lifestyle factors such as screen use and outdoor time
Based on these findings, we recommend the most appropriate treatment option and explain the benefits and limitations of each.

What Is Myopia Control?
Helping Slow Nearsightedness as Your Child Grows
Myopia control focuses on slowing the progression of nearsightedness in children and teens. While glasses and contact lenses help your child see clearly, myopia control is designed to help manage how the eye grows over time.
By slowing myopia progression early, we can help reduce the risk of more serious vision problems later in life and support healthier eyes for the future.
Why Myopia Control Matters
Looking Beyond Today’s Prescription
As myopia increases, it can raise the risk of eye health concerns later in life, including retinal issues, glaucoma, and other vision complications.
Myopia control allows us to take a proactive approach—focusing not just on clear vision today, but on protecting your child’s eye health long term.
Is My Child a Candidate?
Your child may benefit from myopia control if they:
- Are already nearsighted
- Have one or both parents with myopia
- Need frequent prescription changes
- Spend a lot of time on screens or close-up activities
We begin with a comprehensive eye exam and review of your child’s vision history to determine the best next steps.
What to Expect at the Myopia Control Evaluation
A Thoughtful, Personalized Approach
Every myopia control journey begins with a dedicated consultation. During this visit, we take time to understand your child’s eyes, lifestyle, and risk factors.
We may:
- Review family and vision history
- Measure how your child’s eyes are growing
- Evaluate focusing and eye coordination
- Talk about screen time, reading habits, and outdoor activity
Together, we’ll discuss treatment options and help you choose what feels right for your family.
