Myopia Management

Helping kids today see clearly for a healthier tomorrow

What Is Myopia?

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. This happens when the eye grows too long, or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.

Why Myopia Matters

Myopia often starts in childhood and tends to worsen as a child grows. It’s becoming more common than ever, affecting millions of children worldwide. Without intervention, myopia can progress rapidly—leading to stronger glasses over time and increasing the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.

For parents, this can mean frequent prescription updates, worry about their child’s long-term eye health, and limitations on school, sports, and screen time comfort.
