Myopia Control

Many children experience myopia, which is also known as nearsightedness. At Eyes & Optics, we treat many children and adults with myopia in Las Vegas, NV. Nearsightedness is extremely common, which is why so many patients visit us to address the condition. If you suspect that your child is dealing with eye issues, here's what you should know about getting eye care.

What Is Myopia?

Nearsightedness occurs when the eyeball grows longer from front to back or when the cornea and lens don't develop properly. Myopia causes distance vision to grow worse over time. Kids with myopia may begin to complain about declining vision, and it can also impact a child's ability to learn. Schools often don't catch myopia in children. Additionally, some symptoms of myopia may be confused with other conditions like dry eye syndrome. That's why it's so important to find the best eye doctor in your area to diagnose this problem.

What Causes Myopia?

Myopia is linked to genetics and environmental factors. Several studies suggest that prevention may come in the form of outdoor play with natural light. Our eye doctor can provide more insight into the causes of myopia and prevention methods. We will also look for signs of other issues, like dry eye syndrome. Dry eyes are common in arid environments like the desert, and eye care can prevent this issue from impacting your child's myopia.

How Can an Optometrist Control Myopia in Children?

Myopia control depends on catching the symptoms as early as possible. Our optometrist will be able to identify issues when you bring your child to the office. Medical eye drops, glasses, and contact lenses are all helpful tools as well. Addressing myopia early may prevent the need to rely on thick lenses later in life, and it can also reduce the chance of glaucoma and other eye diseases.
