Proactive Vision Care for Nearsighted Kids

If your child’s vision keeps getting worse each year, they may be developing progressive myopia. We help slow that progression with evidence-based care designed specifically for growing eyes. We offer a program that helps parents take steps to protect their children’s eyesight and ensure they can see clearly.

What Is Myopia & Why It Progresses

Myopia, or nearsightedness, happens when the eye grows too long, causing blurry distance vision. It often begins in school-aged children and can worsen quickly during growth years. The earlier it starts, the more likely it is to progress and the stronger their prescription may become.

Left unmanaged, high myopia increases the risk for serious conditions later in life including glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration. The good news is that with early intervention, we can slow it down.

Myopia Control Options at Today's Vision 380

We create care plans using safe, research-backed methods proven to reduce progression:

  • Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Special overnight lenses that gently reshape the cornea so your child can see clearly without daytime glasses or contacts.

  • MiSight® Daily Contacts: FDA approved soft lenses worn during the day to slow myopia while correcting vision.

  • Low Dose Atropine Drops: A once nightly drop that relaxes the eye’s focusing system to reduce strain and slow axial growth.

Who Can Benefit From Myopia Management

If your child is between ages 5 and 16 and their vision gets worse each year, they may be a candidate for treatment. We typically recommend myopia control for:

  • Kids with new or worsening nearsightedness

  • Children with one or more nearsighted parents

  • Students who spend long hours on screens or doing close-up work

  • Families who want long term vision stability and fewer prescription changes
