What is Myopia?
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is when close objects appear clear while distant ones blur. This issue arises when the eyeball is elongated, or the cornea has an excessive curvature. This leads to light focusing in front of the retina at the back of our eyes instead of on it.
How Can Myopia Management Help?
Myopia management represents a forward-thinking approach to myopia. Instead of providing glasses or contacts to correct your child's vision, myopia management aims to slow or even stop myopia progression in children. Early intervention can substantially decrease the speed of deterioration and even stop it in its tracks. This not only preserves the quality of your child's vision but also reduces the risk of developing serious conditions such as glaucoma in adulthood.
Tailored Myopia Control for Children
Our team at Family Eyecare of Glendale focuses on myopia management, primarily utilizing MiSight 1-day contact lenses. Following a detailed eye examination to determine your child's visual status and myopia progression, we tailor a treatment plan centered around these innovative lenses designed to slow myopia's advancement effectively. This personalized approach ensures that the treatment aligns with your child's specific needs, offering a proactive solution to control the progression of nearsightedness. By integrating cutting-edge technology with our comprehensive care, we aim not just to correct vision temporarily but to enact a long-term strategy that promotes healthier vision development and prevents potential complications associated with myopia in the future.
