Helping Kids See Clearly
Today and Protect
Their Vision for Tomorrow
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common in children. While glasses can help improve vision, they don’t address the underlying progression of myopia. As a child’s prescription continues to worsen, their risk of developing serious eye conditions later in life can increase.
At Towne & Country Eyecare Associates, we offer personalized myopia management programs designed to slow the progression of myopia and support your child’s long-term eye health.
We take the time to educate families, answer questions, and recommend solutions that fit your child’s lifestyle and visual needs. Contact us to schedule your child’s myopia consultation today.

What Is Myopia?
Myopia causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. Children with myopia may:
- Squint to see far away
- Sit closer to screens or the television
- Hold books very close when reading
- Complain about blurry distance vision
- Struggle to see the board at school
- Experience changes in sports performance or confidence
Because children’s eyes continue to grow, their prescriptions can change rapidly. Early intervention can help slow this progression and support healthier vision in the future.
Why Does Myopia
Management Matter?
Managing myopia isn’t just about reducing dependence on glasses. It’s about protecting your child’s future eye health.
Higher levels of myopia are associated with increased risks of:
By slowing the progression of myopia during childhood, we can help reduce these risks and preserve healthy vision for years to come.
Vision and Learning
Go Hand in Hand
Clear vision plays an important role in a child’s education, confidence, and development. Children don’t always realize they’re struggling to see. Instead, vision problems may show up as:
- Difficulty concentrating
- Reduced interest in reading
- Falling grades
- Frequent headaches
- Eye fatigue
- Avoiding sports or classroom activities
Because so much learning depends on visual information, healthy vision can have a significant impact both inside and outside the classroom. Our team takes a personalized approach to understanding how your child’s vision affects their everyday life, helping them see clearly and succeed with confidence.
Our Personalized Myopia
Management Treatments
Successful myopia management involves more than simply prescribing lenses.
Using corneal topography and detailed measurements, we carefully monitor how your child’s eyes are changing over time. Regular follow-up visits allow us to evaluate progress and make adjustments when needed.
Every child is different, which is why we tailor treatment plans to each patient’s age, prescription, lifestyle, and rate of progression.
MiSight 1 day lenses are daily disposable contact lenses specifically designed to help slow the progression of myopia in children. In addition to providing clear vision, these lenses use a unique optical design that has been shown to slow the progression of nearsightedness.
Because they’re replaced every day, many families appreciate the convenience and comfort they offer.
Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, uses custom-designed lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the front surface of the eye while your child sleeps. In the morning, the lenses are removed, allowing many children to enjoy clear daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses.
Ortho-k is especially popular among active kids and athletes who want the freedom to play sports, swim, and participate in activities without worrying about traditional vision correction.
Low-dose atropine eye drops have become an effective option for slowing myopia progression in many children. These drops are typically used once each day and may be recommended on their own or alongside other treatments.
Because every child responds differently, we closely monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as needed.
Specially designed multifocal contact lenses can help slow the progression of nearsightedness while providing clear vision at multiple distances. These lenses offer an excellent option for children and teens who are comfortable wearing contact lenses and want an alternative to glasses.
For children who prefer glasses, Essilor Stellest lenses offer an innovative approach to myopia management.
These specially designed lenses not only provide clear vision but also help slow the progression of myopia, making them a great option for families looking for a non-contact lens solution.
Sometimes the best results come from combining multiple treatment methods. Depending on your child’s age, prescription, and rate of progression, we may recommend a personalized approach that combines therapies such as atropine eye drops, specialty contact lenses, or myopia control glasses.
Our goal is to create a plan that fits your child’s lifestyle while providing the greatest long-term benefit for their eye health.

At Towne & Country Eyecare Associates, we believe myopia management is about more than stronger prescriptions. It’s about giving children the opportunity for healthy vision throughout their lives.
