Your myopia control & ortho-k visit.
Myopia control starts with a specialty evaluation — different from a routine exam. We discuss treatment options based on your child's age, prescription, lifestyle, and progression rate, then build a plan you both feel good about.
Common questions about myopia control & ortho-k
At what age should myopia control start?+
Most kids start between ages 7 and 13, when myopia is progressing most rapidly. Earlier intervention generally means better long-term outcomes.
How does Ortho-K work?+
Your child wears specially shaped contact lenses overnight. While they sleep, the lenses gently reshape the cornea. They take them out in the morning and see clearly all day — no glasses needed.
Is myopia control covered by insurance?+
Coverage varies. Some medical plans cover the evaluation; specialty contact lenses are usually out-of-pocket. We'll walk through costs before starting.
What happens if we don't treat it?+
Myopia tends to keep progressing through the teen years. Higher myopia in adulthood is linked to increased risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Slowing progression now protects vision later.
