What Treatments Are Used in Myopia Management?
Ways to Manage Myopia in Children
Why is myopia management vital? It's about ensuring that your child's vision remains vibrant and unburdened by nearsightedness as they develop and lessening the risk of eye diseases later in life. Controlling myopia also improves their daily quality of life and contributes to academic success.
At Southwest Orlando Eye Care, your child's visual well-being is one of our top priorities. We're committed to offering a range of effective myopia management treatments tailored to your child's unique needs.
Glasses and Contact Lenses for Clear Vision
Eyeglasses and contact lenses are common and effective treatments for myopia management. These options provide your child with clear and crisp vision, addressing nearsightedness and allowing them to see the world clearly.
Our team at Southwest Orlando Eye Care offers a wide range of fashionable eyeglasses and comfortable contact lenses to cater to your child's specific needs. We understand that comfort and style are equally important when it comes to eyewear, and our experts are here to ensure your child receives the best options to fit their unique lifestyle and preferences.
Controlling Myopia with Atropine Eye Drops
Atropine eye drops are an effective treatment option for managing myopia in children. These specialized drops slow down the progression of nearsightedness, serving as a protective shield for your child's precious vision. Our experienced team will guide you through the usage and benefits of these drops as part of our comprehensive myopia management approach.
Vision Correction with Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, represents a modern and innovative myopia management treatment. This non-surgical approach involves custom-designed, gas-permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea. These specialized lenses work their magic overnight, gently correcting your child's vision, and are removed in the morning for clear vision during the day.
The various benefits of ortho-k make it an appealing choice for many parents.
-
Daytime Freedom from Glasses or Contacts
Ortho-k affords your child the freedom to see clearly throughout the day without needing eyeglasses or contact lenses.
-
Slows Myopia Progression
Research has shown that ortho-k can help curb the development of nearsightedness, potentially reducing the risk of more severe vision problems in the future.
-
Convenient and Safe
Ortho-k lenses are a safe and versatile option for managing myopia in children of various ages. They are easy to use and maintain, providing parents peace of mind.
-
Improved Self Confidence
Ortho-k lenses can significantly boost your child's self-confidence with clear vision without visible vision correction.

I was staying at Universal & woke up with severe eye pain. I called around trying to find someone wh... Show Moreo could see me the first few places all told me to go to urgent care. When I called SWOE they told me to come in whenever I could. I expected a wait time as I was walking in but they got me back and started addressing the pain basically immediately. Ruby & Dr. Nevada took time to exhaust every possible option & accurately diagnosis see the issue. The medication he prescribed was working within hours! They were both so kind and welcoming & made sure to explain everything. They also said multiple times I could reach back out if I had any issues or questions.
As I said I am not local they helped me to find a pharmacy that I could walk to. When I found that the good Rx app had a cheaper price they were more than willing to switch where the prescription was sent to.
Finally, I do not have eye insurance & was worried with what I would be paying for the whole experience & it was so responsibly priced.
I really can not say enough great things about the experience and especially Ruby & Dr. Nevada. If you are local or down on a trip I would definitely recommend checking in with them for eye care!

Amazing service from all the staff there-front desk was nice and efficient. Special shout out to Mar... Show Moreina who was sweet and eased my kid’s anxieties about doctors. Dr.Nevada was amazing as well- eloquent and well versed in optometry. A great listener and doctor. My child didn’t need glasses and wasn’t persuaded to purchase or get anything.
What we did walk out with was the wonderful feeling when you are unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised. DEFINITELY recommend this office for your eye care needs.
