Myopia is the medical term for nearsightedness and is typically
diagnosed during a yearly eye examination. Myopia tends to
increase as children grow, and that can lead not only to greater
reliance on glasses but also to vision-threatening medical
conditions. Myopia management allows us to reduce those risks.
Conventional eyeglass lenses correct your child’s vision but do not slow the progression of their nearsightedness. The latest research shows that early intervention can reduce the progression of Myopia by 50% or more!
Our office offers personalized treatment options including specialized eyeglasses, contact lenses, and eyedrops to limit myopia as children grow. Contact us to schedule a consultation and learn what therapies are right for your child.
The doctors and staff at William Street Eyecare have invested in training and technology to provide the most up-to-date options to slow the progression of myopia in children.
