Myopia Management
Protect Their Vision.
Protect Their Future.
Whether your child is newly diagnosed or showing early risk factors, our goal is simple: to protect their vision today and safeguard their sight for the future.
About Myopia
Myopia (nearsightedness) is more than a prescription
Myopia is a progressive eye disease that can lead to serious complications if left unmanaged. At College Vision Care, we don’t treat myopia as “just needing glasses.” We recognize it as a progressive eye condition that, if left unmanaged, can increase the risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and other serious vision problems later in life.
Myopia isn’t just about needing glasses. It’s a growing public health concern.
We follow the internationally recognized
"Three M's Approach":
We help families reduce risk factors by improving visual habits, limiting screen time, encouraging outdoor play, and promoting regular eye breaks to slow myopia progression.
Mitigation
Using advanced tools like axial length scans, we closely monitor the eye’s growth and structure. These measurements allow us to detect changes early and assess the risk of progression.
Measurement
Each child receives a personalized treatment plan based on their specific needs. This may include specialty contact lenses, prescription eye drops, or glasses designed to slow progression, all grounded in the latest clinical research.
Management
Why early intervention is critical
The facts behind Myopia and why taking early action can make all the difference
01
It's Progressive
Myopia tends to worsen over time, especially when it starts young. The earlier it begins, the faster it can progress.
02
It's Becoming an Epidemic
By 2050, nearly half the world’s population is expected to be myopic, including children as young as 4.
03
It Increases Serious Health Risks
Even mild myopia increases the lifetime risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and irreversible vision loss.
04
It Can Be Slowed, If You Act Early
Modern treatments can cut myopia progression by 40–70%, dramatically reducing long-term complications.
Timing is everything.
During your child’s Myopia Risk Assessment, we’ll perform a comprehensive eye exam along with advanced measurements like axial length scans and corneal mapping. These tools help us detect early signs of myopia and assess how rapidly it may progress.
From there, we’ll walk you through tailored treatment options designed to protect your child’s vision now and long into the future.
