If your child struggles to see the board at school or squints while reading, it could be myopia (nearsightedness). Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry, and it’s becoming more common in children1. Along with blurry vision, myopia can also impact a child’s ability to succeed in school.
At Family Eyecare of Orange, we offer myopia management in Orange to help your child see clearly now and protect their future eyesight. Learn more about the connection between vision and learning and how myopia management can help.
How poor vision affects learning
Clear vision plays a significant role in learning—about 80% of what children learn in school is visual2. From reading the board to completing homework and using digital devices, kids rely on their eyesight every day. If they’re struggling to see clearly, it can affect their ability to absorb information, stay engaged, and feel confident in the classroom. A pediatric eye exam can catch these issues early, often before your child even realizes there’s a problem.
What is myopia management?
Traditional children’s glasses or contact lenses correct blurry vision, but they don’t slow myopia progression. Myopia management goes a step further by helping to slow how quickly your child’s nearsightedness worsens. Myopia control reduces the risk of your child developing serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, or macular degeneration.
At Family Eyecare of Orange, our comprehensive eye exams allow us to track your child’s myopia progression and recommend the best treatment options.
