Myopia Management
What is myopia?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a condition where distant objects appear blurry. It often begins in childhood and can worsen over time.
Why is myopia management important?
Higher levels of myopia increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
What myopia management options are available?
Options may include specialty contact lenses, glasses designed for myopia control, and low-dose atropine eye drops.
At what age should myopia management begin?
Treatment is most effective when started early, typically in children as young as 5–6 years old.
Will my child still need glasses or contacts?
Yes, but myopia management aims to slow progression, not eliminate the need for vision correction.
Is myopia management safe?
Yes. Myopia management treatments are evidence-based and widely used to safely slow myopia progression in children.
