Myopia Management

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common condition that develops during childhood. While glasses can help correct vision of myopia patients, they are unable to properly treat the underlying causes of myopia. Our team of eye doctors have many options for myopia management, which means we can pair you with the best treatment plan that will work for you and your child.
