We treat the cause of myopia, not just the symptoms.
At Spanish Oaks Eyecare & Myopia Control Center, we don’t just correct myopia, we treat it. Correcting and treating myopia are quite different things. While glasses can sharpen vision they are simply masking the symptoms of the eye condition. What we do, above correcting vision, is treat the underlying condition causing the blurred vision — abnormal eye growth. With myopia treatment we slow the abnormal physical elongation of the eye, reducing the rate of myopia progression and vision deterioration.

Proactive vs Reactive
As your child's eyes progressively worsen with increasing near-sightedness they're prescribed stronger glasses. And repeat 6 to 12 months later. Stronger glasses, thicker lenses. That's how myopia has traditionally been managed, but we now know it's outdated approach that can also put your child's long-term eye health at risk. With advancements in medical science and research, it's time to think differently. Today, myopia progression is preventable with the right treatment. We are proactive in keeping your child's degree of myopia as low as possible. Because eye health matters. And because we care.
Forward Thinking
With myopia control we are thinking about your child's future. Not just at this moment in time but 20, 30, 40 years, or more, from now. We are building the foundations for better long-term eye health. Eye elongation with higher degrees of myopia is closely linked to eye disease development in life. People can and do lose their eyesight from diseases such as glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration, retinal tears and retinal detachment. The best way to avoid vision loss and blindness is to reduce the risks from an earlier age. Prevention is always better than cure.
Dedicated Myopia Care
We provide expert myopia care to all children. We spend ample time at your initial consultation to thoroughly assess the child's myopia condition and visual functions and evaluate your child's risk of progression based on a broad range of factors, to give you our best professional advice. Sometimes no treatment is required and we will monitor closely. Where myopia treatment is recommended, we provide a full range of evidence-based options. There is never any pressure to proceed with myopia treatment; our aim is to help you understand and make an informed decision.
