Myopia Treatment at Professional Family Eyecare
See Your Children’s Nearsightedness Clearly
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is one of the most common eye conditions in children, with cases increasing annually. It can hurt learning and hobbies, too: myopia makes it far more difficult for children to learn and focus, and the disease usually gets worse until the child is about 20 years old. However, there is good news, because myopia can be treated, and its progression can be slowed. Our team of eye disease experts will help find a customized plan that works for your family and offer both short- and long-term relief.
What is Myopia?
Myopia is a condition where the eye elongates and the new shape causes light to enter the eye differently; instead of focusing directly on the retina, the light focuses in front of the retina instead, which causes objects to appear blurry. The eye continues to lose its spherical shape as myopia progresses, which happens until about age 20. Myopia also increases the risk of developing other eye diseases later in life, including glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal tears.
Why Aren’t Normal Glasses Enough for Nearsightedness?
Glasses can fix your vision, but seeing clearly and fixing myopia are two different things. Because the eye is caused by a change in eye shape, the only way to treat the root cause is to help shape the eye so the progression slows, or even stops. This means that eyeglasses, which sit on the bridge of the nose and not the eye itself, are unable to do what’s necessary to help control the eyes’ spherical shape.
Stellest® lenses are a big step forward for kids with myopia, and we’re proud to be among the first in the region to offer them. These innovative lenses are FDA-approved and proven to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. That means clearer vision today and healthier eye development for the future.
They look and feel just like regular glasses, but Stellest® lenses do more than correct vision. From reading in class to playing outside, they help your child see clearly while gently slowing the progression of myopia. Simple, effective, and easy to wear, they’re a smart option for families focused on long-term eye health.
We know how much your child’s vision matters. That’s why our team takes time to fit each pair with care and provides ongoing support through regular check-ins. Stellest® lenses are an exciting new way to protect your child’s eyesight, and we’re here to help you get started.
