Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common condition where the eyeball grows too long or the cornea is too curved. This causes light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, resulting in blurred distance vision. While common, myopia can worsen over time, leading to the need for stronger prescriptions and increasing the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
At Apollo Vision Haus, we're dedicated to providing proactive solutions to manage myopia, especially in children and young adults. Our experienced optometrists utilize the latest research and advanced technologies to help slow the progression of myopia and protect your child's precious eyesight.
Myopia control offers several significant benefits:
Slows Myopia Progression: By intervening early, we can help reduce the rate at which your child's nearsightedness worsens, potentially preventing the need for very strong prescriptions in the future.
Reduces Eye Disease Risk: High myopia is a risk factor for conditions like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts. Myopia control can significantly lower the risk of these complications.

The earlier, the better. If your child is showing signs of myopia or has a family history of the condition, it's essential to schedule a comprehensive eye exam. We can assess their risk and recommend appropriate interventions, even as early as preschool age.
The effectiveness of myopia control varies depending on the method used and individual factors. However, studies have shown that methods like MiSight contact lenses can significantly slow myopia progression, reducing the risk of future complications.
Some treatments, like atropine eye drops, may have mild side effects like light sensitivity. Our optometrists will discuss any potential risks and benefits with you in detail.
The cost of myopia control varies depending on the chosen method and your insurance coverage. We offer flexible payment options and can help you understand the costs involved.
