When your child is diagnosed with myopia, or nearsightedness, it can be tempting to think the solution is simple: get a new pair of glasses whenever their prescription changes. Glasses can help your child see clearly, but they do not slow the underlying progression of myopia. At Atkinson Eye Care<\/a> in Algonquin, Illinois, we help families look beyond today’s prescription and consider what their child’s vision may look like years from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leads many parents to an understandable question: Is myopia management really worth the financial investment?<\/strong> For many families, the most important reason to consider myopia management is protecting their child’s long term eye health. There can also be a financial benefit. Slowing the progression of myopia may reduce some of the vision related costs associated with an increasingly strong prescription over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, What Does Myopia Management Actually Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Myopia typically begins during childhood and can continue progressing as a child grows. In a myopic eye, the eye grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry. Atkinson Eye Care recommends beginning myopia management as early as possible when appropriate, although children and teens of different ages may benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional glasses and contact lenses correct blurry vision, but they do not address myopia progression. Myopia management is designed to slow that progression.<\/strong> Atkinson Eye Care offers several options, including low dose atropine therapy, Ortho K lenses worn overnight and MiSight\u00ae 1 day contact lenses. The appropriate treatment depends on the individual child’s eyes, prescription, age and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think Beyond the Cost of Today’s Glasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Parents often evaluate eye care based on what their child needs right now. If a pair of glasses corrects the problem today, why spend more on myopia management? The difference is that myopia management and traditional vision correction serve different purposes. Glasses correct your child’s current blurry vision. Myopia management attempts to influence how quickly the myopia progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A child whose prescription continues to increase may need updated prescriptions and replacement eyewear throughout childhood. Depending on their needs, there may eventually be costs associated with stronger or specialized lenses, contact lenses or other forms of vision correction. Myopia management does have a cost, and there is no responsible way to promise that every family will ultimately spend less money. However, parents should consider the investment in the context of their child’s overall vision journey<\/strong>, rather than comparing the cost of treatment with the price of a single pair of glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bigger Investment Is Your Child’s Long Term Eye Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The strongest reason to manage myopia has little to do with the price of glasses. As myopia progresses, the eye becomes longer. This can stretch structures within the eye and is associated with an increased risk of serious eye conditions later in life. Higher levels of myopia are associated with greater risks of conditions including retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic maculopathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means there is a meaningful difference between simply helping a child see clearly today and trying to slow how nearsighted they become over time. If your child’s prescription seems to get stronger every year, myopia management gives your eye doctor an opportunity to address that progression while your child’s eyes are still developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could Myopia Management Save Money Over Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Potentially, but this should be viewed as an added benefit rather than a guarantee. Consider the cumulative costs of vision correction throughout childhood and adulthood. A child may need multiple pairs of prescription glasses as their vision changes. Some children transition to contact lenses. Stronger prescriptions can sometimes require different lens options. As an adult, that child will continue needing vision correction unless they pursue another option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slowing myopia progression may help reduce how strong a child’s eventual prescription becomes. That can have practical value throughout life, even if it is impossible to calculate an exact dollar amount today. There is also the much larger issue of eye health. Because higher myopia is associated with greater risk of certain sight threatening eye diseases, reducing progression is ultimately an investment in protecting vision, not simply reducing eyewear expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are the Myopia Management Options?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Atkinson Eye Care offers multiple approaches so treatment can be customized to your child’s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low dose atropine therapy<\/strong> uses prescription eye drops to help slow myopia progression. The drops provide a noninvasive treatment option and are typically used daily with regular monitoring by the eye care team. Learn more about atropine therapy from Atkinson Eye Care.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ortho K<\/strong> uses specially designed gas permeable contact lenses worn while sleeping. The lenses temporarily reshape the cornea so the wearer can see clearly during the day without glasses or daytime contact lenses. For children, Ortho K can also help slow myopia progression. Learn more about Ortho K from Atkinson Eye Care<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MiSight\u00ae 1 day contact lenses<\/strong> are daily disposable soft contact lenses designed specifically for myopia management in children. They correct nearsightedness while also helping slow its progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child’s eye doctor can recommend an approach based on factors such as their prescription, age, rate of progression and ability to comfortably use a particular treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Is Myopia Management Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For parents, the decision becomes clearer when myopia management is viewed as preventive eye care rather than simply another form of vision correction. You are investing in an effort to slow the progression of a condition that could otherwise continue worsening throughout your child’s growing years. You may also reduce some of the long term costs associated with increasingly strong vision correction. Most importantly, slowing myopia progression can help reduce risks associated with higher levels of myopia later in life. A child has decades of eyesight ahead of them. Protecting that vision early can be one of the most valuable investments you make in their future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
