Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common Myopia Management inquiries below
What’s myopia management?
Myopia, aka nearsightedness, isn’t just about blurry distance vision. It’s about the eyes growing too long from front to back. When this happens, kids risk more than just thick glasses—they’re at higher risk for serious conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachments as adults. Myopia management is all about hitting the brakes on this rapid eye growth.
What are the treatment options?
We’ve got two superstar treatments:Special Eye Drops: Easy to use and effective.Special Contact Lenses: Game-changing lenses with big benefits. "Braces For Your Eyes" (wear contact lenses at bedtime, wake up, remove contact lenses, have clear vision the whole day). "Dual Focus" contact lenses (wear day time special designed contacts, to slow down your myopia possibly even stop it from changing.
Can't My Child Just Stick With Glasses, or regular contact lenses?
Nope. Glasses and traditional contacts fix blurry vision, but they don’t stop the underlying problem—the eye growing too long. Our treatments don’t just compensate; they actively slow (or sometimes stop!) the progression.
Why is Slowing Myopia Such A Big Deal?
An oversized eye (hello, high myopia!) has a higher chance of serious eye diseases later in life—think glaucoma or retinal detachment. Slowing myopia means a better future for your child and clearer days today. Stay thin glasses, improved lifestyle and confidence, overall healthier life!
What’s Ortho-K? Braces for your Eyes!?
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, aka braces for your eyes, is a specialty contact lens your child wears overnight. While they sleep, the lens gently reshapes the eye to prevent it from getting longer. Bonus: they wake up with clear daytime vision—no glasses or contacts needed!
What about Atropine?
Atropine is a powerful eye drop that slows myopia progression. Perfect for kids who aren’t into contacts—or can even be paired with lenses for a one-two punch against myopia.
