Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, can make distant objects look blurry and often progresses as children grow. At NewVision Eyecare, we provide personalized myopia management in Sammamish, WA to help slow the progression of nearsightedness while supporting clear, comfortable vision.

Managing myopia early is important because a child’s prescription can continue to increase throughout their growing years. Our eye doctors evaluate your child’s vision, eye health, prescription, and individual needs to determine an appropriate treatment plan.

What Is Myopia Management?

Traditional glasses and contact lenses can correct blurry distance vision, but myopia management is designed to do more. The goal is to help slow how quickly nearsightedness progresses over time.

Children with myopia may squint, sit closer to the television, have trouble seeing the board at school, or complain that distant objects look blurry. Because children may not always recognize changes in their own vision, regular pediatric eye exams can help identify myopia early.

Myopia Management Options for Children

At NewVision Eyecare in Sammamish, we offer several approaches to myopia control. The right choice depends on factors such as your child’s age, prescription, lifestyle, eye health, and rate of progression. Our available options include:

MiSight® 1 day contact lenses - Daily disposable soft contact lenses designed to correct vision while slowing myopia progression.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) - Specialized contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea and provide clear daytime vision.
Essilor Stellest® lenses - Specialized eyeglass lenses designed to provide clear vision while helping slow myopia progression.
Low-dose atropine eye drops - Prescription eye drops used at night to help reduce the progression of myopia.
Soft multifocal contact lenses - Specially designed lenses that may help manage myopia while correcting vision.

The Importance of Early Myopia Control

Myopia can begin at a young age and may continue to worsen as the eyes grow. Starting myopia management early gives us an opportunity to address progression rather than simply updating stronger prescriptions year after year.

During a myopia evaluation, our eye doctors in Sammamish can assess how your child’s vision is changing and recommend a treatment strategy based on their individual needs. Follow-up visits are also important so we can monitor progress and make adjustments when necessary.
