About Myopia
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is more than just needing glasses — it’s a condition that worsens over time if left untreated. As the number of myopia cases rises each year, children are experiencing progressively stronger prescriptions and increased risks for serious eye diseases, including:
- Retinal detachment – A sight-threatening condition linked to high myopia.
- Glaucoma – Increased eye pressure that can lead to vision loss.
- Early cataracts – Clouding of the eye’s natural lens at a younger age.
Beyond eye health, worsening myopia can impact a child’s academic performance, sports participation and daily life. While glasses improve vision temporarily, they don’t stop myopia from progressing — but our customized treatment plans do.
About Myopia Management
The sooner myopia is detected, the better we can slow its progression and protect your child’s long-term vision. Our experienced eye doctors develop a personalized treatment plan that focuses on:
- Slowing myopia progression to reduce future prescription strength.
- Minimizing the risks of eye diseases associated with high myopia.
- Providing long-term vision stability for school, sports, and daily activities.
Even though myopia cannot be completely cured, early intervention with VisionQuest’s proven treatments can significantly reduce its severity and preserve your child’s eye health for the future.
Our Myopia Solutions
Ortho-K
Ortho-K lenses are custom-designed for each child and gently reshape the cornea while they sleep. By wearing these lenses overnight, children can enjoy clear vision throughout the day without needing glasses or daytime contacts. Ortho-K not only improves vision but has been clinically proven to slow myopia progression. effectively.
Atropine Eye Drops
A low-dose prescription of atropine eye drops can significantly reduce the speed of myopia progression in children. These drops are applied before bed and can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, depending on your child’s needs.
