Nearsightedness, or myopia, is becoming increasingly common in children and can often progress as they grow. At Eyedeal Vision, our doctors offer personalized myopia management designed to help slow the progression of nearsightedness and support healthier vision over time.
Rather than simply updating a child’s glasses prescription as their vision changes, myopia control focuses on addressing the progression itself. After a comprehensive evaluation, our doctors recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the child’s age, prescription, eye health, lifestyle, and individual needs.

These figures show association, not a guarantee what a child will develop disease.
Higher myopia levels are associated with higher lifetime risk.
This refers to reduced progression in study participants. Individual results vary.
Treatment options may include specialty myopia-control contact lenses, low-dose atropine eye drops, and specially designed myopia-management eyeglass lenses. Our doctors monitor each child’s vision over time and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
Because progressive myopia can increase the risk of certain eye conditions later in life, early monitoring and intervention can be an important part of protecting long-term eye health.
If your child’s prescription seems to be getting stronger each year, schedule a myopia management evaluation with one of our doctors to learn whether myopia control may be appropriate.
