Myopia Control | Eyecare Plus

Success Begins With Sight

Myopia is a growing concern for children and parents around the world, and it’s on the rise in the United States. More than 40% of Americans currently have myopia, and more children are diagnosed daily.

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, causes distance vision to appear blurry while close objects remain in focus. A growing eyeball or an overly-curved cornea during childhood can lead to myopia, negatively impacting vision.

We offer a range of myopia control techniques to slow eye elongation. With myopia control, we can manage the effect myopia has on your child’s eyes to help preserve their visual clarity.

There is no cure for myopia, but we can slow its progression to support your child’s long-term eye health. Book their appointment to test for myopia today

Why Myopia Matters

Good eyesight is crucial for learning, and poor vision can impact a child’s academic performance and social development. Vision problems may cause them to struggle with schoolwork or be misdiagnosed with behavioral issues.

Severe myopia can also lead to more serious conditions later on. The risk of retinal detachment, cataracts, and open-angle glaucoma are all may be higher for people with high myopia.

Detecting myopia early is essential for delaying its progression and maintaining your child’s vision. Corrective lenses can help address changes in your child’s vision, but we can offer additional strategies to help protect their eye health.

Book your child’s appointment now to test for myopia and other vision conditions.

We Can Help You Manage Eye Strain

Relief from digital eye strain begins with a proper diagnosis. Once we have confirmed the cause of your discomfort and ruled out other underlying causes, we can work on finding solutions that fit your life.

We may recommend:

Blue light lenses feature a special filter that blocks blue light emitted by screens. They can reduce glare and improve comfort during long screen sessions.
Computer glasses are designed specifically for close and intermediate distances (around 20–26 inches) to ease eye strain while working at a computer.
Dry eye treatment can provide relief from burning, watery, or tired, dry eyes.

It’s important to meet with your optometrist to discuss your symptoms and lifestyle. If we recommend specialty lenses or glasses, our optometrists will customize them to your prescription and specific needs. Our glasses can be manufactured in our in-house lab, allowing us to maintain quality control and deliver your glasses more quickly.
