Learn More About Myopia Treatment
Myopia is more than needing glasses—it’s a change in eye structure that can increase the risk of future conditions like retinal detachment or glaucoma. At Elsa Pao O.D., we offer science-backed options such as 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—all tailored to your child’s eyes and daily routine.
The Warning Signs of Myopia
- Squinting at distant objects
- Sitting close to screens or the front of the classroom
- Complaints of blurry vision or visual fatigue
- Frequent eye rubbing or headaches
