What is Myopia?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry, while nearby objects remain clear. It typically begins in childhood and can worsen with age. As myopia progresses, the eye elongates, increasing the risk of serious vision problems later in life—such as:

• Retinal detachment
• Glaucoma
• Cataracts
• Myopic macular degeneration

Myopia has reached epidemic levels globally, making early intervention more important than ever.

What is Myopia Management?

Myopia management is a proactive, evidence-based approach to slow the progression of nearsightedness and reduce the risk of eye elongation. This strategy is essential for children, especially those under age 12, as their eyes are growing rapidly.

Benefits of early myopia management:

• Short-term: Slower changes in prescription, clearer vision for longer periods between eye exams
• Long-term: Reduced lifetime risk of severe eye conditions and vision impairment

Did you know?
Reducing myopia by just 1 diopter lowers the risk of myopic macular degeneration by 40% and the risk of vision impairment by 20%

Why Choose eye&I™  for Your Child’s Myopia Control?

At eye&I™, we understand that every child is unique. That’s why we offer a comprehensive, personalized approach to managing myopia—designed to protect your child’s vision and slow the progression of eye elongation.

Our Comprehensive Myopia Management Services

Our treatment plans include a range of clinically proven options tailored to your child’s lifestyle and visual needs:

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Specialty overnight contact lenses that gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps—providing clear vision by day and slowing myopia progression at night.

---

Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine drops used nightly to effectively slow down the progression of myopia and reduce the risk of eye elongation—safe, easy, and non-invasive.

---

Dual-Focus Soft Contact Lenses

Daytime contact lenses with unique optical zones that help correct vision while controlling eye growth and myopia progression.

---

Lifestyle & Environmental Guidance

We educate families on how outdoor time, screen use, and visual habits impact myopia—and provide practical strategies to reduce digital strain and encourage healthy vision development.

When Should Myopia Management Begin?

Early intervention is key. The fastest eye growth and myopia progression occurs in children under age 10. Starting treatment early can significantly reduce long-term risks.

We recommend initiating myopia management for children under 12 and continuing through the teen years.
