Myopia Management

Proactive Care to Slow Nearsightedness Progression

Myopia management focuses on slowing the progression of nearsightedness in children rather than only correcting blurry distance vision. As myopia progresses, it can increase the risk of future eye health complications and lead to stronger prescriptions over time.

At Stewart Eye, we offer personalized myopia management care designed to support healthy eye development and protect long-term vision. Care is led by Dr. Sara Stewart, with an emphasis on early intervention and ongoing monitoring.

Understanding Myopia Management

Standard glasses correct blurry vision but do not slow the progression of myopia. Myopia management is a proactive approach that aims to reduce the rate at which nearsightedness worsens as a child grows.

Children who develop myopia at an early age or whose prescription increases rapidly may benefit most from myopia management strategies.

Why Myopia Management Is Important

Progressive myopia can lead to:Understanding these factors helps guide appropriate vision care and correction.

  • Rapid increases in glasses prescription
  • Higher risk of eye conditions later in life
  • Greater dependence on corrective lenses

Managing myopia early can help maintain healthier vision outcomes as your child grows.

Myopia Management Options

Myopia management may include one or more strategies based on your child’s needs, such as:

Common types of refractive errors include:

  • Specialized prescription lenses
  • Targeted vision correction strategies
  • Targeted vision correction strategies
  • Regular monitoring and prescription adjustments

Children enrolled in myopia management require regular eye exams to track vision changes and ensure treatment remains effective. Consistent follow-up is essential to achieving the best results.
