Myopia Management

Protect your child’s vision today

Slow myopia progression for a healthier tomorrow. Let our experienced optometrists create a personalized plan for your child’s eyes.

What is myopia?

Myopia, or short-sightedness, means your child can see things up close clearly, but objects far away look blurry. It happens when the eye grows a little longer than normal. Myopia is becoming more common, especially in children who spend a lot of time on screens, reading, or doing schoolwork. Early care can slow how fast it progresses and help protect vision for the future.

Signs and symptoms

Your child may assume that what they see is ‘normal’. Here are some signs to watch for:

  • Squinting to see distant objects
  • Sitting close to screen
  • Headaches or eye strain after reading or digital use
  • Trouble seeing the board at school or during sports.

Why early control matters

If myopia progresses quickly, it can increase the risk of more serious eye problems later in life. Slowing myopia while your child is growing helps protect their eyes for the future. Early intervention is not just about seeing clearly today but about keeping their eyes healthy for years to come.

Spectacle lenses must considering the moving eye behind the lens to ensure that the intended correction and myopic defocus is maintained for all gaze angles.  With the ZEISS ClearFocus design featured in MyoCare, both the optimal refractive correction according to the patient’s refractive demands and the intended myopic defocus are maintained for all gaze directions.
