👁️ What Is Myopia Management-And Why Is It So Important for Kids? 👧📚
Did you know that myopia (nearsightedness) is one of the fastest-growing vision problems among children today?
It doesn't just mean your child needs glasses to see the board. If left untreated, myopia tends to worsen over time, increasing their risk of serious eye diseases like:
➡️ Retinal detachment
➡️ Glaucoma
➡️ Cataracts
➡️ Myopic macular degeneration
💡 That's where myopia management comes in.
🔬 So, what is Myopia Management?
It's a science-backed approach to slowing down how quickly your child's myopia progresses-not just correcting their vision, but protecting their long-term eye health.
At Friedman Optometry, we use advanced tools like the Topcon Myah to track eye growth and monitor how well each treatment is working.
✅ Our Myopia Management Options Include:
👓 MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses
FDA-approved daily lenses proven to slow myopia in kids.
🌙 Ortho-K Lenses (Orthokeratology)
Worn overnight to gently reshape the eye-no glasses or contacts needed during the day!
💧 Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops
Easy-to-use drops at bedtime that slow eye growth without affecting daytime vision.
👀 Early signs of myopia in kids include:
• Squinting to see far away
• Holding screens or books very close
• Complaints of headaches or tired eyes
• Difficulty seeing the board at school
If any of this sounds familiar, don't wait.
