A combination of genetics (if parents are myopic) and lifestyle factors, such as increased “near work” on digital devices and less time spent outdoors. Evidence-based guidelines now recommend a minimum of 2 hours of daily outdoor time to help prevent or delay the onset of myopia.
How to fix nearsightedness?
While traditional glasses “fix” the blur, they don’t fix the growth of the eye.
Myopia treatment at Eyes & Vision focuses on slowing that growth to protect long-term health.
Is myopia genetic?
Yes.
A child’s risk increases 2x if one parent is myopic and up to 5x if both parents are myopic.
How much does it cost?
During your first consultation, we provide a clear breakdown of the cost.
Because every child’s eye is unique, costs vary on the treatment plan. Parents invest in treatment to stop their child’s vision from worsening now, and protect their eye health long-term.
