Comprehensive Myopia Management for Growing Eyes
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, can progress rapidly and lead to more serious eye conditions in adulthood. That’s why we offer effective myopia management treatments designed to slow down or halt the progression of myopia, ensuring healthier vision for the future.
Our customized approach focuses on protecting your child’s vision now and for the future, helping to reduce the need for stronger glasses or contact lenses as they grow.
What Is Myopia
Myopia is a condition that makes it difficult to see distant objects clearly. It typically begins in childhood and can worsen over time, leading to more serious eye conditions later in life. Regular eye exams are key to detecting myopia early and managing its progression.
Signs That Your Child is struggling With Myopia
Recognizing the signs of myopia early is crucial for your child’s vision health. Some key signs that may show your child is struggling with myopia include:
- Squinting frequently when trying to see distant objects
- Complaining about blurry vision when looking far away
- Sitting too close to the TV or holding books close to their face
- Struggling to read the whiteboard or other distant objects in school
- Experiencing frequent headaches or eye strain
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an eye exam with Davis Eye Care to diagnose and manage your child’s myopia.
If you’re concerned that your child’s vision is deteriorating rapidly, or even if your child has mild myopia, contact Davis Eye Care today. The earlier a child starts myopia management treatments, the better the results.
