Myopia can interfere with your child’s development and even eye health. That’s why Standard Optical offers myopia management: a specialized way to keep nearsightedness in check!
What is Myopia?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a refractive condition where your cornea — the front of your eye, which helps to focus your vision — is too long. This makes it harder for your eye to focus on faraway objects, which makes them blurry. Myopia can be caused by everything from genetics to lifestyle, such as lack of time outdoors or overexposure to blue light from computer screens.
Standard eyewear can correct nearsightedness, but if the eye length isn’t treated, myopia will only progress. This can lead to stronger prescriptions and greater risk for eye disease down the line.
Myopia Isn’t Always Obvious. But There Are Commons Signs:
Your child may not know they’re nearsighted, and you won’t be able to tell by looking at them. But you may notice your child struggling in school, not enjoying extracurricular or social activities, having frequent headaches, and rubbing their eyes or squinting. Most parents wouldn’t assume these all come from the same cause, but they’re all symptoms of myopia.
Kids don’t know what clear vision is until it’s shown to them — but with an eye exam, we can catch nearsightedness and get on top of it right away.
