Myopia Control
Myopia (nearsightedness) is a growing concern in children, and at Optometric Center of Encino, we specialize in proactive myopia control to slow its progression and protect your child’s long-term eye health. Rapidly advancing myopia doesn’t just mean stronger glasses; it significantly increases the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic maculopathy. Our approach focuses on personalized, evidence-based treatments designed to manage the underlying issue, not just correct the resulting blurry vision.
Our effective myopia management options include specialized treatments like MiSight contact lenses, atropine eye drops, and customized orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses worn overnight. During a consultation, our doctors will assess your child’s rate of progression and lifestyle factors to recommend the optimal solution. Investing in myopia control now is the best way to reduce your child’s reliance on thick corrective lenses and safeguard their vision for a lifetime of clear sight in and around Encino.
