Myopia Management Near Markham
When a child's prescription keeps climbing, it is worth looking further ahead. Our clinic just south of Steeles offers personalized myopia management to monitor and help slow progression.
Planning for Growing Eyes
Nearsightedness often progresses through childhood. For families near Markham, Dr. Mustafa Rawji provides a thorough assessment and an individualized management plan, with options that depend on your child's eyes and needs.
We look closely at the characteristics of your child's eyes before recommending a plan.
Follow-up visits help track how your child's nearsightedness changes over time.
Slowing progression can help reduce the risk of high myopia and related eye health concerns.
What to Expect
Your child's myopia management starts with a comprehensive assessment. Here is a typical outline.
Share past prescriptions, family history, and your child's daily routine including reading, screens, and time outdoors.
We assess your child's vision and refraction to understand their current level of myopia.
Your optometrist examines your child's eyes in detail to guide the management plan.
Discuss suitable options for your child and set a schedule for monitoring.
What Myopia Means
Myopia, or nearsightedness, makes faraway objects look blurry. In children, it often increases as their eyes grow, which can mean stronger and thicker lenses year after year. Higher levels of myopia are also associated with a greater risk of certain eye health problems later on.
Myopia management focuses on slowing that progression rather than only correcting the blur. Your optometrist looks at the factors that may be contributing in your child's case. The recommended approach depends entirely on what the assessment shows.
Each plan begins with a careful assessment.
