Myopia Control in Kids

If you have children diagnosed with myopia, it's important to treat it and keep it under control. Not only does that help your child see the world around them clearly, but it can also make school, sports, and other activities much easier and often safer.

How Is Myopia Diagnosed?

Myopia is typically diagnosed with a standard eye test, where your child will be asked to look through lenses and let their optometrist know whether what they see is blurry or clear.

Before that, though, you may have some indication that your child isn't seeing as well as they should. For example, not being able to read what's written on the board at school means a trip to the optometrist is important.

How Does an Eye Doctor Develop Myopia Treatment?

Optometry focuses on helping children and adults have a clearer vision and get relief from eye conditions that keep them from seeing the world around them. By working with our optometrist, your child can get glasses or contact lenses, depending on their age and other factors, so they can see better.

Visiting our eye doctor regularly will help keep your child seeing properly, as their prescription can be adjusted over time. For example, some children's prescriptions change rapidly as they grow, while others are more stable. In addition, with the right glasses or contacts, your child can participate in school and other activities more easily.
