Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming more common than ever, especially among children and young adults. While wearing glasses or contact lenses can correct blurry distance vision, they don’t slow the progression of myopia—which can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
Urban Eyes offers advanced myopia management solutions that help control its progression and reduce long-term risks.
Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child’s vision or an adult noticing changes in your eyesight, early intervention is the key to protecting lifelong eye health.
Why Is Myopia Management Important?
People think myopia is just an inconvenience that requires glasses, but its impact goes beyond blurry vision. As myopia worsens, the eyeball continues to elongate, increasing the risk of:
- Retinal detachment – Myopia can stretch and weaken the retina, making it more prone to tearing or detachment.
- Glaucoma – Higher levels of myopia are linked to increased eye pressure, which can damage the optic nerve.
- Macular degeneration – Myopic macular degeneration (MMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in adults with high myopia.
- Cataracts – People with high myopia tend to develop cataracts earlier in life.
By managing myopia early, we can reduce these risks and help maintain clear, healthy vision for life.
Myopia Management Options at Urban Eyes
At Urban Eyes, we offer customized myopia control treatments to slow progression and protect long-term eye health. Our solutions include:
Ortho-K (Orthokeratology)
These overnight contact lenses gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, providing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contacts. Ortho-K has been clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia.
Myopia Control Glasses
We offer advanced lens technology designed to reduce eye strain and slow myopic progression, providing a clearer, more comfortable vision experience.
MiSight® 1 Day Contact Lenses
The only FDA-approved soft contact lenses for myopia management, MiSight® lenses help slow myopia in children while providing comfortable, all-day vision correction.
Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine drops have been shown to effectively slow myopia progression, making them a great non-invasive option for children and adults.
Our eye doctors will assess your vision and lifestyle needs to determine the best treatment plan for you or your child.
When Should You Start Myopia Management?
- The earlier, the better. Studies show that children as young as 6-7 years old can benefit from myopia control treatments.
- Myopia progresses rapidly in childhood and adolescence. Without management, prescriptions often worsen each year.
- Even adults with progressing myopia can benefit. Treatments like Ortho-K and myopia control glasses help stabilize vision.
If you’ve noticed your child squinting, sitting closer to screens, or struggling to see distant objects, now is the time to schedule a myopia consultation.
