Myopia Management for Pediatric Patients in Los Angeles and Koreatown

Does Your Child Need Myopia Management?

Is your child struggling to see the board at school? Do they squint their eyes while watching TV? Or maybe they complain of headaches after screen time?

All of these may be signs of nearsightedness (myopia), the most common eye disease amongst children. Myopia is a disease where objects nearby are clear but objects far away appear blurry. Myopia typically occurs because the eyeball grows too long during childhood. Myopia rates amongst children are growing dramatically due to a lack of outdoor time and potentially more near work like reading and device use.

That’s why early detection and intervention are crucial. Myopia management can help slow the progression of nearsightedness and protect your child's vision for the future.

What is Myopia Management?

Myopia management, also referred to as myopia control, is the use of specific treatments to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children. Untreated, myopia in children usually progresses and their vision gets worse until they stop growing. Myopia management also helps reduce the risk of vision-threatening diseases associated with high myopia later in life — including glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal disease.
