Myopia Management in Powell, OH
Led by Dr. Paula Kelbley, our pediatric team takes a proactive, evidence-based approach to managing myopia from the earliest signs. Blurry vision can make it harder for children to read, concentrate in class, or enjoy activities. Our goal is to support their success in and out of school.
What is Myopia and Why Does it Matter?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that causes distant objects to appear blurry. It typically begins in childhood and often progresses as the eye continues to grow. While glasses and contacts correct blurry vision, they do not slow the condition’s progression.
Managing myopia early is about more than just improving sight. It is about reducing the risk of serious eye health problems later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and early cataracts.
Signs Your Child May Be Developing Myopia
Children with myopia may:
- Squint to see the board at school
- Hold books or tablets very close
- Complain of frequent headaches or eye strain
- Perform well up close but struggle with sports or outdoor activities
If you’ve noticed these signs, or if your child’s prescription keeps getting stronger every year it may be time to consider myopia control.
A Smart Investment in Your Child’s Academic and Visual Future
During comprehensive eye exams, we carefully monitor for early signs of myopia so we can begin preventive care as soon as needed.
Clear vision is essential for classroom learning, reading, sports, and screen time. Myopia can interfere with focus, cause fatigue, and make schoolwork more challenging. More importantly, unchecked progression can lead to a significantly higher risk of long-term eye disease.
Our goal is to help your child see clearly now while protecting their vision well into adulthood.
Safe Myopia Control with Daily Soft Multifocal Lenses
We use soft daily disposable multifocal contact lenses that have been clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia in children. These lenses offer:
- A safe, non-surgical approach
- Daily convenience and hygiene
- Clear, comfortable vision for school, sports, and play
- Ongoing prescription control guided by our doctors
We do not offer ortho-k lenses, but our approach allows us to provide excellent results with minimal disruption to your child’s routine.
