What Treatments Are Used in Myopia Management?
Ways to Manage Myopia in Children
Why is myopia management vital? It's about ensuring that your child's vision remains vibrant and unburdened by nearsightedness as they develop and lessening the risk of eye diseases later in life. Controlling myopia also improves their daily quality of life and contributes to academic success.
At 20/20 Image Eye Centers - Gilbert, your child's visual well-being is one of our top priorities. We're committed to offering a range of effective myopia management treatments tailored to your child's unique needs.
Glasses and Contact Lenses for Clear Vision
Eyeglasses and contact lenses are common and effective treatments for myopia management. These options provide your child with clear and crisp vision, addressing nearsightedness and allowing them to see the world clearly.
Our team at 20/20 Image Eye Centers - Gilbert offers a wide range of fashionable eyeglasses and comfortable contact lenses to cater to your child's specific needs. We understand that comfort and style are equally important when it comes to eyewear, and our experts are here to ensure your child receives the best options to fit their unique lifestyle and preferences.
Controlling Myopia with Atropine Eye Drops
Atropine eye drops are an effective treatment option for managing myopia in children. These specialized drops slow down the progression of nearsightedness, serving as a protective shield for your child's precious vision. Our experienced team will guide you through the usage and benefits of these drops as part of our comprehensive myopia management approach.
Vision Correction with Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, represents a modern and innovative myopia management treatment. This non-surgical approach involves custom-designed, gas-permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea. These specialized lenses work their magic overnight, gently correcting your child's vision, and are removed in the morning for clear vision during the day.
The various benefits of ortho-k make it an appealing choice for many parents.
-
Daytime Freedom from Glasses or Contacts
Ortho-k affords your child the freedom to see clearly throughout the day without needing eyeglasses or contact lenses.
-
Slows Myopia Progression
Research has shown that ortho-k can help curb the development of nearsightedness, potentially reducing the risk of more severe vision problems in the future.
-
Convenient and Safe
Ortho-k lenses are a safe and versatile option for managing myopia in children of various ages. They are easy to use and maintain, providing parents peace of mind.
-
Improved Self Confidence
Ortho-k lenses can significantly boost your child's self-confidence with clear vision without visible vision correction.

The Staff at 20/20 Image Eye Centers are amazing. I had an eye issue quickly arose affecting my visi... Show Moreon that I was concerned about. I reached out to another eye center and had to leave a message which was not returned for over an hour. When they did call me, they took some information and said they would get back to me which did not happen for hours.
I called 20/20 Eye Center and they answered. They asked my questions while on the phone to assess my situation. While still on the phone, they said I should come in for an assessment of my situation. I was given an appointment for two hours after my call. I showed up and was going through test within 15 minutes after filling out my paperwork as I had never been to 20/20 Eye Center before.
They identified my issue, gave me a treatment plan and samples to address my issue. My initial experience with the 20/20 Eye Center Staff and Doctor was one of the best medical experiences I have ever had.
20/20 Eye Center will be my go-to Eye Care Center going forward, Thank you!
