Did you know that as a child grows, so do their eyes? This is why myopia (nearsightedness), caused by an eye that is too long, tends to get worse during childhood. Myopia can occur at any age in children, even impacting children younger than 6 years old.
At Birch Lake Vision Group, we understand that slowing the progression of myopia is more than just preventing stronger glasses. Left untreated, myopia can increase the risk of serious eye diseases later in life, such as glaucoma, cataracts, or retinal detachment. Slowing myopia progression is about protecting your child's vision!
The good news is that Myopia Management exists, and studies show it works.* Our doctors offer a personalized program that can slow or even stop the progression of your child’s nearsightedness using safe, proven treatments like MiSight® contact lenses and low-dose atropine eye drops.
We will partner with you every step of the way by:
Creating a care plan tailored to your child’s lifestyle and needs
Monitoring progress every 3–6 months to track results
Providing guidance and education for your family’s peace of mind
