At PREMIER VISION, we are committed to providing comprehensive eye care services to manage myopia progression in children. Located in Houston, our clinic offers advanced treatment options and personalized care to help slow the progression of myopia in kids and ensure their vision remains healthy.
Understanding Myopia in Children
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. Myopia typically begins in childhood and continues to develop as a child grows. Timely managment of myopia is crucial to prevent severe vision problems in the future.
Signs of Myopia in Children
Parents should be aware of the common signs of myopia in children, which include:
- Frequent squinting
- Holding books or devices very close to the face
- Sitting too close to the TV
- Complaints of blurry vision, especially at a distance
- Frequent headaches or eye strain
If you notice any of these signs in your child, it is important to schedule an eye exam with our experienced optometrists.
Comprehensive Eye Exams for Kids in Houston
At PREMIER VISION, we provide thorough eye exams to detect and monitor myopia in children. Our exams include vision tests, eye health assessments, and personalized recommendations to manage myopia progression.
Treatment Options to Help Slow Your Child's Myopia Progression
We offer a variety of treatment options to slow the progression of myopia in children, including:
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea and improve vision during the day.
- Multifocal Contact Lenses: Contact lenses provide different focus levels to help control myopia progression.
- Atropine Eye Drops: Low-dose atropine drops are used to slow myopia progression.
- Prescription Glasses: Specialized glasses designed to manage myopia and reduce eye strain.
MiSight® 1 day contact lenses have been shown in a multi-year clinical trial to reduce the average rate of progression of myopia by 59%. These lenses are well-suited to kids and do not affect their daily activities. To experience these lenses’ full range of benefits, we recommend daily wear of around 10 hours, six or more days a week.
We are thrilled to offer the Brilliant Futures™ Myopia Management Program to our patients, and we hope you will join us in our efforts to combat pediatric myopia for a brighter tomorrow. If you would like any further information on managing myopia in children, please get in touch with us.
