In today’s digital age, it’s not just adults glued to screens—kids are spending more time indoors and on devices than ever before. As a result, myopia (nearsightedness) is on the rise worldwide, and it’s affecting children at earlier ages. At Marvel Vision Center, we’re not just treating blurry vision—we’re focused on slowing myopia’s progression to protect your child’s long-term eye health.

🔍 What is Myopia?

Myopia is a common condition where nearby objects appear clear, but distant objects look blurry. It happens when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.

Early signs of myopia include:

Squinting to see distant objects (like classroom boards or street signs)
Sitting too close to screens or books
Frequent headaches or eye fatigue
Complaints of blurred distance vision

If left unmanaged, myopia can progress rapidly—especially during childhood—and lead to serious vision risks later in life, including glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.

🛡️ How Marvel Vision Center Helps Control Myopia

We offer a range of evidence-based myopia control treatments tailored to each child’s needs:

👓 1. Special Myopia Control Glasses

These glasses look just like regular ones, but they’re designed to slow eye growth using special lens designs such as DIMS (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology. Comfortable, effective, and perfect for active kids.

👁️ 2. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

These are overnight contact lenses that gently reshape the eye while your child sleeps. In the morning, they can enjoy clear vision all day—no glasses or contacts needed during the day, and they slow myopia progression too!

👁 3. Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses

Worn during the day, these specially designed contacts help reduce the eye’s tendency to grow too long. Safe, comfortable, and effective for kids and teens.

💊 4. Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine drops can be used nightly to slow the progression of myopia. It’s a non-invasive, scientifically proven option we may recommend based on your child’s age, vision needs, and comfort level.

🧒 Why Early Myopia Control Matters

The earlier we start, the better. Slowing the progression of myopia early can significantly reduce the risk of vision-threatening complications later in life. Our personalized care approach ensures your child receives the right treatment at the right time.
