Myopia management for kids
Slowing down your child’s nearsightedness.
Clear vision today. Healthy eyes tomorrow.
Does your child need stronger glasses every single year?
That rapid change isn’t just an inconvenience—it means their eyes are growing longer than they should. While standard glasses help your child see clearly right now, they don’t stop the prescription from getting worse.
Our Myopia Management Program uses proven treatments to slow down that progression, helping keep their prescription lower and protecting their long-term eye health.
Why it matters
Why not just get stronger glasses?
When kids are nearsighted, their eyeball is stretching too quickly. Higher prescriptions later in life increase the risk of serious eye issues down the road.
By starting treatment early while your child is still growing, we can protect their eyes for adulthood.
Higher risk of
- Retinal tears or detachment
- Glaucoma
- Early cataracts
Treatment options we offer
Every child’s eyes and lifestyle are different.
During your visit, we’ll help you choose the best fit for your family.
Overnight lenses (Ortho-K)
Special contact lenses worn only while sleeping. They gently guide the shape of the eye overnight so your child enjoys crisp, clear vision all day—without glasses or daytime contacts. Perfect for active kids and swimmers.
Daytime soft contact lenses
Comfortable, single-use daily lenses designed specifically to slow down eye growth while providing clear daytime vision.
Prescription eye drops
Gentle, low-dose drops placed in the eyes just once at bedtime to help signal the eyes to slow their growth. A great non-contact option for younger kids.
Specialized eyeglass lenses
Advanced glasses designed not just to correct blur, but to actively signal the eye to stop lengthening.
Common parent questions
What parents ask us most.
When should we start?
Most rapid changes happen between ages 6 and 14. We can begin treatment as soon as we notice your child’s prescription is worsening year over year.
Does insurance cover this?
Routine vision insurance usually covers the basic eye exam, but the specialized lenses, drops, and extra monitoring visits are typically an out-of-pocket medical service. We provide a transparent breakdown of costs and payment plans before you begin.
How do we know it’s working?
We schedule regular check-ins to measure your child’s eye growth and vision, ensuring their eyes are staying stable and healthy.
