MYOPIA MANAGEMENT

What is Myopia (Nearsightedness)?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, happens when your eye grows too long, making things in the distance look blurry. Spending time outside helps your eyes grow normally, but too much screen time may make myopia worse.

Regular glasses and contact lenses help you see clearly, but they might not stop myopia from getting worse. As your prescription gets stronger, the risk of serious eye problems—like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal issues—can increase.

At Eyes on Hayden, we offer special treatments to slow down myopia and protect your vision for the future. Book a visit to learn more about how we can help!

Contact Lenses for Myopia Control

Soft contact lenses designed specifically for myopia management are a popular and effective option for many kids and teens, gently reshaping how light enters the eye to help slow myopia progression while providing clear, comfortable vision throughout the day. Monthly multifocal contact lenses are another proven solution for managing progressive nearsightedness, allowing children to see clearly at all distances, reducing eye strain, and supporting long-term eye health—making them a convenient and hygienic choice for active kids with proper care.

Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops

For children who may not be ready for contact lenses, low-dose atropine eye drops are an excellent non-invasive alternative. Used nightly, these drops help slow the elongation of the eye — the root cause of myopia. Atropine therapy is safe, well-tolerated, and can be used in combination with other myopia treatments for optimal results.
