Myopia Management in Collingswood, Marlton & Medford, NJ

Correcting and Protecting Children’s Vision for Life

Nearsightedness is increasingly common in children, complicating their ability to learn, play, and socialize effectively. It also tends to worsen over time, putting children’s future eye health in jeopardy. Children with medium to high myopia are significantly more likely to develop sight-threatening diseases in adulthood. Stopping or slowing your child’s myopia from advancing is an active step you can take to ensure their eyes remain healthy as they age.

Myopia management at Premier Eye Associates offers a proactive approach, not only correcting nearsightedness for now but also significantly slowing its progression for the future.

Why Aren’t Glasses Enough for Nearsightedness?

While glasses correct the symptoms of nearsightedness by adjusting focus, they do not address the underlying cause—the elongation of the eyeball. Relying solely on glasses means a child’s vision may continue to deteriorate, requiring stronger prescriptions and increasing the risk of serious eye diseases later in life.

How Does Myopia Management Help?

Myopia management targets the structural changes in the eye associated with myopia. By controlling the elongation of the eyeball, it not only provides immediate vision correction but also significantly reduces the progression of myopia over a child’s developmental years. This intervention allows children to more fully engage in academics, sports, and social activities without the hindrance of worsening vision.

Our Myopia Management Solutions

At Premier Eye Associates, we offer advanced myopia management solutions that significantly improve your child’s vision and help protect their future eye health. These interventions are grounded in the latest research and technology, including the Haag-Streit Lenstar Myopia system for precise measurement and monitoring.

Ortho-K

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight that temporarily reshape the cornea. Children wake up to clear daytime vision without needing glasses or contact lenses, while the treatment effectively controls the progression of myopia.

MiSight

MiSight 1 day contact lenses are clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia in children. These soft contact lenses are worn during the day and designed specifically to not only correct nearsightedness but also to reduce the speed at which myopia worsens.

Atropine Eye Drops

Atropine eye drops are specialty eye drops, and low doses of these drops have shown to help slow or halt myopia’s profession. Our team can identify the precise dosage of drops that’s right for your child’s vision.
