It’s hard watching your child’s prescription get stronger year after year, knowing it could limit their options as an adult. Our Myopia Management Program offers FDA-approved treatments that can slow this progression by up to 60%, protecting your child’s long-term vision and reducing the risk of serious eye diseases later on.
We offer three proven treatment options to help slow the progression of myopia and protect your child’s long-term vision.
Ortho-K overnight lenses gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, giving them clear vision all day. They work without glasses or daytime contacts, are easy for parents to manage, and give kids the freedom to enjoy school and sports without worry.

Daily soft lenses offer an easy, comfortable way to slow myopia during the day. Your child simply puts them in each morning for clear, stable vision at school and on the field.

Low-dose atropine drops are used nightly to help slow eye growth. Your child will still wear glasses or contacts during the day, but the drops work behind the scenes to protect long-term vision.
Myopia (or nearsightedness) means distant objects look blurry while nearby things stay clear. It often starts in childhood and can get worse every year, leading to stronger glasses and higher risks of eye disease later in life.
This program aims to slow the increase in a child's prescription and slow down the elongation of the eye. Our doctors offer various FDA-approved treatments to slow this myopia progression in children. These treatments include specialized contact lenses, atropine eye drops, and orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses.
Managing your child’s myopia today means fewer risks to their vision tomorrow. High prescriptions increase the chance of serious problems like retinal tears, glaucoma, and even vision loss. By slowing how quickly your child’s eyes change, we help protect their lifelong sight.
Myopia can worsen quickly, with prescriptions changing every 6–12 months. That’s why early treatment, especially between ages 6 and 12, is so important to slow progression.
Yes, children with a family history of myopia are at a higher risk. Myopia management can still be effective in reducing the progression of myopia and lowering the risk of associated eye conditions.
Our consultation to see if your child is a candidate is $85, and the consultation fee becomes applied toward the best program for your child. We offer in-house financing for all our programs and an itemized receipt to submit for FSA/HSA funds, as insurance plans typically do not cover this.
Myopia often begins in early childhood and can worsen quickly, with prescriptions changing every 6 to 12 months. Rapid progression is most common between ages 6 and 12, which is why early monitoring and treatment are essential.
Encouraging more outdoor time, limiting excessive near work (like screens), and taking regular visual breaks can help. However, lifestyle changes alone are usually not enough. Our doctors offer FDA-approved treatments such as ortho-k lenses, daily soft lenses, and atropine drops, which can slow progression by up to 60%.
If your child’s prescription increases by more than -0.50 diopters in a year, that’s considered rapid progression. Left unmanaged, it can lead to high prescriptions and greater risks of retinal problems later in life.
Chronic redness and dryness are often signs of underlying dry eye disease, which means your eyes aren’t producing enough quality tears. Common causes include meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation, allergies, or even long hours on screens.
That scratchy, burning sensation often means your tear film isn’t working properly, usually from blocked oil glands or inflammation on the eye’s surface. At our advanced dry eye clinic, we utilize the gold standard, FDA-approved OptiLight IPL to treat the underlying cause, rather than just masking the symptoms so that you can enjoy lasting comfort.
Ironically, overly watery eyes can be a sign of dryness because your eyes produce reflex tears since your own tear film lacks proper oils. Allergies, environment, and eyelid health also play a role. We can determine the cause during your eye evaluation.
Yes. A comprehensive medical eye exam can catch early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and more, often before you notice symptoms. Early detection is key to protecting long-term vision.
