Myopia: Affecting How Your Child Learns

At Eyetopia, we know that myopia is more than just blurry vision. It affects how your child interacts with the world, impacting everything from their self-esteem to how they perform in school.

Because more than 60% of the brain is involved in processing visual information, healthy vision is crucial for effective learning. Vision problems can significantly impact their learning experience, both inside and outside the classroom.

That’s why we’re offering the Total Myopia program—to provide ongoing, personalized management that helps preserve your child’s vision and overall eye health.

Spotting Signs & Symptoms of Myopia

How can you tell if your child sees the world out of focus? Sometimes, kids have difficulty expressing what they see or may not even realize their vision is different from everyone else. However, there are some common signs and behaviors that can indicate potential vision problems, such as:

• Frequently squinting, blinking, or rubbing their eyes
• Getting headaches after distance-based activities
• Complaining of tired or strained eyes
• Clumsiness (walking into or inability to catch objects)

While regular glasses and contact lenses can correct your child’s blurred vision, they don’t prevent the eye from growing and the nearsightedness from worsening. That’s where our myopia control program comes in. At Eyetopia, we take a proactive approach to your child’s eye health. 

By keeping myopia progression under control, we aim to prevent higher levels of myopia, which increase the risk of serious eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration, and retinal detachment. With corneal topography, we can measure the cornea to track changes in shape over time and create a customized lens with your child’s unique measurements.
