Childhood myopia (or nearsightedness) is an epidemic in our country and worldwide. If your child is myopic, we would love to talk about myopia management options. Childhood myopia is likely to progress, which not only means stronger glasses, but potential ocular health problems in the future like retinal detachments, glaucoma, or myopic macular degeneration. While glasses are essential for clear vision, other options may be necessary to reduce your child’s myopic progression. Dr. Wood is certified to fit MiSight contact lenses, an FDA-approved option for myopia management.
