Myopia Management

Myopia (nearsightedness) is rising in kids nationwide. It’s more than just needing glasses. Unchecked, it increases the risk of serious eye problems later in life. The good news? Early treatment makes all the difference.

Our myopia management program uses low-dose atropine eye drops, one of the safest and most effective options to slow progression. Combined with regular check-ups, comprehensive eye exams, and lifestyle guidance, we help protect your child’s vision for years to come.

How Do Low Dose Atropine Eye Drops Work for Myopia Management?

Low-dose atropine eye drops help manage myopia by gently relaxing certain eye muscles and slowing down the eye’s natural tendency to grow too long. When the eye elongates, it causes light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, making distant objects look blurry.

By reducing this elongation, atropine helps protect clear vision and lowers the chance of developing more severe nearsightedness.

Just a quick drop once a day, usually at night, as part of a long-term myopia management plan. Studies show that low-dose atropine can slow the progression of myopia by up to 50%, making it one of the most effective options available for children at risk of worsening vision.
