Myopia ManagementSlowing nearsightedness progression to protect long-term eye health

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a condition in which distant objects appear blurry. In children, myopia often worsens as they grow. Myopia management focuses on slowing the progression of nearsightedness, helping reduce the risk of future eye health complications.

Early treatment can make a meaningful difference in protecting your child’s vision now and in the future.

Why Myopia Management Matter

As myopia increases, so does the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including:

• Retinal detachment

• Glaucoma

• Macular degeneration

• Early cataracts

Myopia management is not about eliminating the need for glasses—it’s about preserving long-term eye health by controlling how quickly myopia progresses.

Who Is a Candidate?

Myopia management is most effective for:

• Children diagnosed with myopia

• Children whose prescription is increasing each year

• Children with one or both parents who are nearsighted

• Early cataracts

Treatment typically begins in childhood and continues through the growing years.
