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.

Our team at Montgomery Village Eye Center 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.

I've been a patient for over 15 years from the old location to this new one. Dr. Rubin is an excelle... nt doctor. He's the one who diagnosed my eye disease and recommended me to a specialist who have been treating me ever since. If it wasn't for him maybe I would likely be blind now. Thanks Dr. Rubin Now they have upgraded their equipments to the new AI machines that more accurately diagnose any issues with your vision. However they still maintain their professional legendary friendly customer service. Jamie my tech is very customer service oriented. He recommends what will fit and what will not. He allows one to decide and dosen't try to push any unwanted features. He always guides you in making a decision that you will be very appreciative you did.

I received a survey along with other surveys and I messed up and rated this business incorrectly. S... o corporate - if you’re paying attention, this is how I feel. I can in for issues with my eye and after examination, assurances, instructions, and a prescription - I’m well on my way to recovery. I was able to get an appointment the same day and everyone was very responsive. Thanks again Dr Miller
