Myopia Control & Prevention Center

Protect Their Vision. Preserve Their Future.
At All EyeCare Optometry, we take childhood myopia seriously. Nearsightedness is more than just blurry vision—it’s a progressive eye condition that can lead to long-term complications. Our specialized Myopia Control Program is designed to slow progression, protect eye health, and support your child’s academic, athletic, and life success.

What is Myopia?

Myopia (nearsightedness) is when distant objects appear blurry, while close-up vision remains clear. It’s caused by an elongation of the eyeball, which causes light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
What’s most concerning? Myopia in children tends to worsen every year if not properly managed.

Why It Matters

Progressive myopia isn't just about thicker glasses. It dramatically increases the risk of serious eye diseases later in life, including:

  • Retinal Detachment

  • Glaucoma

  • Cataracts

  • Myopic Macular Degeneration

The younger a child develops myopia, the faster and more severely it tends to progress.

Warning Signs in Kids

  • Squinting to see the board at school

  • Complaints of blurry distance vision

  • Holding devices very close

  • Frequent eye rubbing

  • Headaches or eye strain

  • Rapid prescription changes year after year
