Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while near objects remain clear.
Why Is Myopia Management
Important?
Important?
For children, myopia can worsen over time, increasing the risk of serious eye conditions like glaucoma or retinal detachment later in life.
Studies show that higher levels of myopia are associated with an increased likelihood of vision-threatening complications. Early intervention is key to protecting your child’s vision and overall eye health.
Our myopia management program at Cedar Park Eye Care focuses on reducing the rate of progression, giving your child a clearer and healthier future.

Treatments
Treatments
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Ortho-K lenses are specially designed gas permeable contact lenses worn overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Ortho-K is a non-surgical option that is safe and effective for children and adults.
Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine eye drops are a clinically proven treatment for slowing myopia progression. These drops are easy to use and can be integrated into your child’s daily routine.
Multifocal Contact Lenses
Designed to correct vision while simultaneously slowing myopia progression, multifocal lenses are a great option for children and teenagers.
Lifestyle Adjustments and Counseling
Reducing screen time, encouraging outdoor activities, and maintaining proper visual hygiene can significantly reduce the risk of myopia progression. Our team provides tailored advice to help manage your child’s lifestyle for better eye health.
