Why Does My Child's Nearsightedness Need to Be Managed?

Myopia isn’t just about blurry distance vision. It’s a progressive condition that can lead to severe eye health issues if left unchecked.

Children with high levels of myopia have a dramatically increased risk of developing serious eye conditions later in life. For instance, severe myopia can heighten the risk of myopic maculopathy by 128 times, retinal detachment by 44 times, and cataracts by 12 times.

Early intervention and effective management strategies are essential in reducing these risks and ensuring your child maintains good vision.

What is Myopia Management?

Myopia management involves strategies to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. Among these strategies, MiSight contact lenses are a revolutionary treatment.

These lenses correct vision and control the progression of myopia. They work by focusing light in a way that reduces the stress and fatigue associated with the elongation of the eye ā€” the primary cause of myopia progression.

As a result, they are an effective tool in safeguarding your child's eye health in the long run.

What our Patients are Saying About our Myopia Management

How Do I Know if My Child Needs Myopia Management?

Determining whether your child needs myopia management starts with a comprehensive eye examination. However, we offer an online myopia quiz to help parents get a preliminary understanding.

This quiz assesses various factors that might indicate a need for myopia management. It's a quick, convenient first step in identifying potential risks.

However, it's crucial to follow up with a professional eye examination for an accurate assessment and to discuss the best management strategies for your child.
