Your child has been diagnosed with myopia (Nearsightedness, or blurry distance vision)
Myopia is increasing at an alarming rate with 25% of US children already diagnosed. Fortunately, eyeglasses compensate for the blurry vision due to myopia. But they do not treat the underlying issue.
Myopia gets worse in nearly all kids, and as it does it can put kids at higher risks for serious eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts and retinal detachments.
Treatments are available to slow down myopia’s progression. These treatments can minimize future eye health risks for your child. Because we are concerned about your child’s vision, below are the necessary steps you should take to treat our child’s myopia.

It is imperative myopic children have eyeglasses with their most up-to-date eyeglass prescription. This is because the myopia treatments we are recommending will not reverse myopia. Eyeglasses will be ordered today.
We are referring you to The Eye Doctors, a pediatric eye care practice who will recommend the best non-surgical myopia treatment for your child. There is no charge for their initial consultation.
After your child’s myopia treatment program is underway, we will continue to provide ongoing eyecare and eyeglasses for your child, similar to how a general dentist and orthodontist work together,
