Myopia Management

A proactive approach to slowing the progression of nearsightedness. Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is more than just a need for stronger glasses. In children and teens, myopia often worsens as the eyes continue to grow. Myopia Management focuses on slowing this progression, helping protect long-term eye health while still providing clear, comfortable vision today.

Being proactive. Slowing the progression.

Why Myopia Management matters:

  • Myopia is increasing worldwide, especially among children.
  • Higher levels of myopia are linked to greater risks of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
  • Early intervention can make a meaningful difference in long-term vision outcomes.

Who may benefit from Myopia Management:

Myopia Management is typically recommended for children and adolescents with progressing nearsightedness. It may be especially beneficial for:

  • Children with rapidly changing prescriptions
  • Children with a family history of myopia
  • Children who spend significant time on near work or digital devices

Myopia Management options may include:

  • Specialty spectacle lenses designed to slow myopia progression, including the new FDA-approved Stellest™ lenses
  • Specialized contact lenses created for myopia control
  • Prescription eye drops used as part of a customized treatment plan
  • Lifestyle guidance to support healthy visual habits

What to expect:
Myopia Management begins with a comprehensive pediatric eye exam. Our doctors evaluate eye health, assess myopia progression, and recommend a personalized plan tailored to your child’s needs. Ongoing monitoring allows us to adjust treatment as your child grows.
