Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a refractive error where close objects and nearby objects appear clear but distant objects are blurry. This occurs when light rays entering the eye focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, causing difficulty seeing things at a distance.
Common symptoms include:
Myopia is correctable with prescription glasses, contact lenses, or other vision correction methods. However, regular monitoring is essential, as myopia progression can increase the risk of visual impairment and sight-threatening conditions later in life.
Don’t wait. Protect your vision. Call (301) 591-1763 to schedule your eye exam.
Specialty contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea, providing clear vision without glasses or contact lenses. An effective treatment option for mild to moderate myopia.
Atropine eye drops are proven to reduce myopia progression when used in pediatric patients and are a non-invasive treatment option.
Specialty contact lenses with multiple focal points for clearer vision at all distances while controlling myopia progression. Available as soft contact lenses for daily wear.
Conventional glasses or specialty prescription glasses designed for myopia control to correct vision and slow progression.
Each treatment option is personalized during your initial consultation to meet your unique needs. Our optometrists will discuss the best vision correction methods based on your child’s vision needs, severity of myopia, and goals for eye health.
Higher degrees of myopia, particularly high myopia, carry greater health risks and potential complications. Slowing the advancement of child’s myopia prevents high myopia and degenerative myopia from developing, helping you avoid severe sight-threatening conditions later in life such as:
Important: The physiological long-term risks of these diseases do not disappear after refractive surgery like LASIK. LASIK only corrects vision (like conventional glasses or corrective lenses such as contact lenses) and does not reverse the length of the eye. This is why myopia management through early intervention is essential to truly slow myopia progression and protect eye health.
The chances of myopia in children increase when parents are myopic:
1 in 4
If neither parent has myopia
1 in 2
If both parents have myopia
1 in 3
If one parent has myopia
Research shows modern lifestyles and environmental factors may influence myopia development:
It is essential for all children to have a dilated eye exam and initial consultation before starting kindergarten to assess their risk of myopia, astigmatism, and amblyopia. Protecting your child’s vision through early detection allows for timely myopia treatment.
