Why are Myopia Cases Rising?
If your child is staying indoors more often, or doing up-close activities like reading or using digital devices, they may be at a higher risk of developing childhood myopia.
Myopia progressively gets worse as your child grows older. As it develops, it can affect their ability to perform at school or even play sports. But with the help of our trained team of doctors, we can develop a myopia management plan that suits their needs and keeps them seeing clearly into the future.

The Risk of Myopia
Myopia increases the risk of developing a range of eye conditions and diseases, including glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Myopia can also increase the risk of experiencing retinal detachment and permanent vision loss. Mild myopia can increase this risk by 4 to 5 times, while severe myopia increases the risk by 10 times.
In fact, some studies show that more than 50% of retinal detachments (not related to trauma) are connected to myopia.
Managing Myopia
Myopia management is part of your child’s eye health. Our non-invasive treatments aim to slow or even stop myopia’s progression, maintaining your child’s quality of life. If you suspect your child has myopia, they should undergo treatment as soon as possible.

Everyone here is always so kind and helpful. I never feel like they are rushing me to get to someone else. The doc sat with my son for an hour, patiently coaching and helping him get is first contacts in and out and in again. Thanks to all.
Andi
Everyone was super welcoming. The Doctor explained everything and showed me pictures of the backs of my eyes. They explained how everything worked with my insurance and was very helpful picking out my new glasses. I will recommend them to everyone I know.
