Glasses May Not Be Best for Your Child’s Nearsightedness

Glasses and other types of eyewear may be great for temporarily correcting myopic vision, but they won’t fix the underlying issue that causes myopia, which can lead to complications for your child now and in the future. As your child’s myopia progresses, not only will they need to regularly get new pairs of glasses with progressively higher prescription, but it also puts them at greater risk of eye disease. Complications from myopia can hinder your child’s development, too — impacting their academics, athletics, and social development — but Somerset Eye Care’s myopia management program can give your child the eyesight they need to succeed while slowing the progression of their condition!

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Overnight Lenses

Compounded Atropine Eye Drops

Our myopia eye doctors also frequently prescribe compounded atropine eye drops, often in addition to other myopia treatments. These drops can help slow myopia’s progression and keep your child’s vision crystal clear!
