What is myopia in children?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, means a child can see objects up close clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. It often progresses as children grow.

At what age should myopia management start?

Myopia management is most effective when started early, often between ages 6 and 12, when a child’s eyes are still developing.

What treatments are available for pediatric myopia?

Common options include MiSight® daily contact lenses and Stellest® spectacle lenses, both designed to slow myopia progression in children.

What is Myopia?

Myopia (nearsightedness) means your child can see things up close clearly, but distant objects—like the board at school or street signs—look blurry. Myopia control for children in Naperville focuses on slowing this progression as kids grow.

Why parents should care?

Myopia usually worsens as children grow. Without management, prescriptions often become stronger year after year—especially during school-age years.

Families across Naperville trust The Eye World for thoughtful, personalized myopia control for children—not one-size-fits-all care.

Why it happens and why it worsens

In myopia, the eye grows too long from front to back, so light focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This makes distant objects look blurred. As children grow, their eyes often continue to grow as well. This can lead to stronger and stronger prescriptions over time if myopia isn’t managed.

That’s why early myopia management can make a real difference.

The goal isn’t to stop myopia completely, but to slow its progression and help protect your child’s long-term eye health.
