What Is Myopia?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a progressive vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while near vision remains clear. It's especially common in children—and it's increasing at alarming rates worldwide.

Uncontrolled myopia isn’t just about stronger glasses—it can lead to serious eye health risks like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and early cataracts later in life.

Why Myopia Matters More Than Ever
42% of children in the U.S. have myopia—up from 25% a few decades ago

Higher levels of myopia = higher lifetime risk of vision loss

Genetics, screen time, and lack of outdoor play are accelerating progression

Glasses can correct vision—but they don’t slow myopia progression

Two Core Goals of Myopia Management
Correct Vision
Help your child see clearly now with customized lenses or treatments.

Control Progression
Use advanced therapies to slow down the eye’s growth and reduce long-term risks.

Myopia Symptoms to Watch For
  • Squinting to see far away
  • Headaches or eye strain
  • Sitting close to screens or whiteboards
  • Blinking frequently or rubbing eyes
  • Difficulty seeing objects across the room or at night

Our Proven Myopia Control Options
After a personalized evaluation, Dr. Kim may recommend one or more of the following:
  • MiSight® 1 Day Lenses
    • FDA-approved soft daily contacts clinically shown to reduce myopia progression in children ages 8–12.
  •  Atropine Eye Drops
    • Low-dose atropine drops applied nightly can reduce the speed of myopia progression in some children.
  • Custom Glasses with Myopia Control Designs
    • Specially designed lenses (like Hoya’s MiyoSmart or Essilor’s Stellest) that provide clear vision and help slow eye growth.

Why Early Action Is Key
The earlier we intervene, the more we can do to protect your child’s lifelong vision. Myopia often progresses most rapidly between ages 6–14, so don’t wait for their next prescription increase.

At Wink Family Eye Care, we go beyond basic vision correction. Dr. Kim uses the latest myopia control tools and compassionate care to help your child see clearly now—and preserve healthy sight for years to come.
