Myopia Control (Nearsightedness)

Myopia (“nearsightedness”) is increasing all over the world at a rapid pace.  At Allen Eye Associates our doctors have been analyzing scientific research about how to prevent, reduce, or slow the progression of myopia for our patients.

After much study, we are introducing Myopia Control for qualified patients using the latest and safest technologies including prescription medications, specialized soft contact lenses, and contact lenses that can reshape the eyes overnight to reduce the need to wear glasses or traditional contact lenses and to slow progression in our growing young patients.

If you are concerned about how fast your child’s eyes (or maybe your own eyes!) are changing, you should call us for an appointment to determine which technology can help slow down or stop the loss of clear vision.  The sooner we intervene, the better the chances for success!
