What Is Myopia & Why Does It Matter?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry. It often starts in childhood and tends to worsen as the eyes grow.

Left unmanaged, it can lead to higher prescriptions and increased risks of eye disease in adulthood.

Our goal is to protect long-term vision by intervening early, especially for kids whose myopia progresses quickly.

Managing Myopia in Kids & Teens

We offer low-dose atropine drops, a safe and effective treatment for slowing myopia progression in children and teens.

These drops are easy to use at home, with minimal disruption to your child’s daily routine. 

During routine checkups, we monitor eye growth and provide progress updates to parents, so you always feel informed and involved.

Signs Your Child Might Have Myopia

Many children with early myopia don’t realize their vision has changed. You might notice your child:

  • Squinting to see distant objects, like the TV or whiteboard

  • Sitting very close to screens or holding books close to their face

  • Complaining about blurry vision, especially at school

  • Rubbing their eyes frequently or showing signs of eye strain

  • Struggling with sports or activities that require distance vision

If your child is showing any of these signs, it’s a good idea to schedule a pediatric eye exam.

Early Treatment Makes a Difference In Myopia Progression

Most kids with myopia experience the fastest changes between ages 7 and 13.

Starting treatment early helps reduce the need for stronger glasses year after year. More importantly, it lowers the risk of long-term eye health issues like retinal detachment or glaucoma later in life.
