Learn More About Myopia Treatment

Myopia (nearsightedness) is more than blurry vision—it’s a structural change in the eye that can increase the risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and other serious eye conditions. At New Bern Family Eyecare, we provide evidence-based treatments including custom soft contact lenses like MiSight®️, the first and only FDA-approved* soft contact lens proven to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8–12 at the start of treatment, overnight Ortho-K (“KIDS”) lenses, and low-dose atropine drops—each plan designed around your child’s eyes, lifestyle, and vision goals.

Everytime I go get my eyes checked the entire staff is friendly and very kind. Dr. Kim is the BEST eye doctor I've ever had. Not only does she know the entire eye she's also sweet.
I'm so glad Dr. Kim was recommended to me by a friend.

WOW such a good experience it was incredible! Not something you expect when visiting any doctor. Dr. Hobbs is incredibly kind and thorough, and very reassuring. Amazing place, he wasn't even my doctor before but saw me in an emergency situation and I could not have been more impressed!

This was my first visit to the clinic, and everyone on staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Dr. Hobbs took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure all of my questions were answered.

In the past I was happy coming here. Now, they wanna include retinal imaging as required with every exam, for $35, not covered by insurance. Just a way to fleece every patient for $35. I won’t be returning.
