Slow Myopia Progression &Protect Their Future Vision
Myopia isn’t just about glasses, it’s about the future health of your child’s eyes. We use evidence-based treatments to slow myopia progression and support lifelong visual clarity.
What Is Myopia, and Why It’s More Than Just Nearsightedness
Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry, and it often worsens during childhood and adolescence. But it’s not just a matter of stronger prescriptions. As myopia progresses, the eye grows longer and that increases the risk of serious vision problems later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. The earlier we intervene, the better we can protect their long-term eye health.
Myopia Management in Los Angeles for Kids & Teens
Children’s eyes are still developing, and that means they’re more vulnerable to rapid changes. Each year of unchecked progression raises their risk of high myopia and vision-threatening conditions. Starting treatment early allows us to slow down that progression, preserve visual clarity, and reduce future risks while giving them the freedom to see and learn without limits.
Snapshots That Spot What Eyes Can’t Say
We use digital retinal imaging to monitor how your child’s eyes are changing beneath the surface. This non-invasive tool captures high-resolution images of the retina, helping us track signs of myopia progression. It’s quick, painless, and incredibly useful, especially when it comes to spotting subtle changes that can guide how (and when) we adjust their treatment plan. The result? Smarter care, earlier intervention, and better long-term outcomes.
Our Myopia Management Options
We select a myopia management plan based on your child’s needs, age, and lifestyle. Most plans include one or more of the following evidence-based treatments:
A Personalized Plan That Grows With Your Child
No two eyes develop the same way. That’s why we monitor your child’s vision regularly and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Our myopia management program includes follow-up exams, digital retinal imaging, and detailed progress tracking, so we always know where things stand, and where we need to go next.
At Valley Optometry Eyecare, we offer myopia control programs for families throughout Los Angeles, including communities such as Granada Hills, Reseda, and North Hollywood. Whether your child squints in the classroom or struggles after too much screen time, we offer treatment that slows progression and protects their long-term eye health.
