What Every Parent Should Know About Myopia

Myopia, or nearsightedness, happens when the eye grows too long from front to back, causing distant objects to appear blurry. It usually begins in childhood, and without intervention, it often gets worse each year. 

Children with rapidly progressing myopia face a higher risk of developing serious conditions later in life, including: 

  • Retinal detachment 
  • Glaucoma 
  • Cataracts 
  • Myopic macular degeneration 

With myopia control in San Jose, we’re not just improving how your child sees — we’re protecting how they’ll see in the future. 

Personalized Myopia Control Plans at Kas Eye Center

We offer multiple clinically proven options for slowing the progression of myopia, including: 

  • Ortho-K (Orthokeratology) :
    Custom overnight lenses that reshape the eye while your child sleeps.
  • MiSight® Daily Soft Contact Lenses:
    FDA-approved daily lenses that have been shown to help slow myopia progression.
  • Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops
    A gentle, non-invasive drop therapy used nightly to stabilize eye growth.

We’ll help you choose the option that best fits your child’s age, prescription, and lifestyle.

Is Myopia Management Right for Your Child?

We recommend a myopia control consultation if your child: 

  • Has been diagnosed with nearsightedness 
  • Is experiencing frequent prescription increases 
  • Spends long hours on screens or reading up close 
  • Has a family history of high myopia or eye disease 
  • Began wearing glasses at a young age 

If you’ve noticed squinting, holding devices close, or struggling to see far away in class or at sports, it’s time for a closer look.
