Is Your Child's Vision Getting Worse Every Year?
If your child's prescription keeps getting stronger, you're probably worried. You should be—but not for the reasons you think.
Yes, stronger glasses are annoying. But here's what really matters: progressive myopia (nearsightedness) dramatically increases your child's risk of serious eye diseases later in life—cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration. The higher the prescription, the higher the risk.
Regular glasses help them see clearly today, but they don't slow down the progression. That's the problem.
Myopia Management Changes the Game
Instead of just correcting vision, myopia management actually slows how fast nearsightedness progresses.
We use proven treatments tailored to your child's needs—including ortho-k lenses they wear overnight (no daytime glasses needed), specialized contact lenses, or atropine drops.
The goal? Protect their long-term eye health while keeping their vision stable.
Why Is This Happening to So Many Kids?
Screen time is a huge factor. Between school tablets, phones, and laptops, kids' eyes are working overtime at close distances. Experts predict half the world will be nearsighted by 2050 if current trends continue. Distance learning during COVID only accelerated this.
Myopia typically starts between ages 6-14 and worsens until the early 20s. The earlier we intervene, the better we can protect their future vision.
