For pediatric patients options for correction include glasses, contact lenses. For some patients, myopia control may also be recommended.
The treatment depends on the degree of myopia and the age of your child. I recommend having an evaluation with a pediatric ophthalmologist for an exam. Mark
usually glasses for a child
there are some contact lenses that we use to fix contact lenses and attempt to hold off nearsightedness, MiSight is the name of the contact lens now being used for myopia control
