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.

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.

Had a great experience at this location. Dr. Edward’s really took her time and had a lot of patien... ce with my daughter throughout the process, especially once we found out her prescription from her last check up in a different location out of state was completely wrong. The staff was friendly and efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. I definitely will be going back for the rest of my family and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a kind and caring place to go get your eyes checked!

This place did a fantastic job for me. I was in and out in about 30 minutes from start to finish. My... glasses were the perfect view for me and I chose a pair of glasses with rhinestones and when I picked up my glasses and walked out to my car and looked closer in the mirror, one of the stones was missing. I walked back in to let them know and they ordered me a new pair immediately but sent me on my way with the ones I bought until my new ones come in. I felt veery well cared for there and the staff is top notch!

Always great customer service, prices seem to be fair, and Dr. Haley is incredibly knowledgeable. Tw... o years ago I had to be transferred to a specialist about an eye condition. The specialist was so impressed with Dr. Haley that he insisted I didn’t need to return to him and she could monitor the condition. The Lake is fortunate to have her expertise.
