MYOPIA MANAGEMENT
in New York City
Is Your child short-sighted?
Myopia control can help manage your child's risk of eye disease later in life.
Is your child nearsighted? Myopia isn’t just a vision issue — it’s a long-term eye health risk. At Vision On Park, we offer advanced myopia control to slow progression in children, teens, and young adults, helping reduce the risk of future conditions like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
Call 212-689-2333 to schedule an exam.
Myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when the eye grows too long, causing blurry distance vision. While glasses or contacts correct the blur, they don’t stop myopia from worsening.
Risk factors include:
- Family history
- Early onset (before age 10)
- Rapid progression
- High screen time and low outdoor activity
The higher the prescription, the higher the risk of serious eye disease later in life — which is why early management is essential.
We take a full-picture approach to your child’s eye health using:
- Comprehensive eye exams
- Corneal topography (maps the eye’s surface)
- Axial length measurements (tracks eye growth)
- Lifestyle assessments (screen time, outdoor activity, etc.)
Myopia Control Options at Vision On Park
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Custom overnight lenses gently reshape the cornea to correct vision by day and slow progression over time.
- For kids (6+): Proven myopia control
- For athletes: Ideal for active lifestyles
- For adults: A non-surgical alternative to LASIK
Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses
Daytime lenses that correct vision and reduce eye growth signals — a great option for kids not ready for Ortho-K.
ATROPINE THERAPY
Low-dose nightly eye drops that slow eye growth. Often used with other treatments for enhanced control.
VISION CORRECTION
We ensure your child sees clearly while managing their myopia, with prescription glasses or contacts as needed.
Healthy Habits That Support Myopia Control
We guide families on lifestyle changes that help protect young eyes:
- 1–2 hours outdoors daily
- Limiting screen time with 20-20-20 breaks
- Proper lighting and posture for reading
- A balance of near and distance visual activities
