Scarborough Myopia Management
If your child's glasses keep getting stronger, a myopia management plan can help. Our clinic beside the Scarborough boundary monitors growing eyes and builds a plan around your child.
Looking Ahead
Myopia, or nearsightedness, makes distant objects look blurry and often progresses as children grow. For families in Scarborough, Dr. Mustafa Rawji offers personalized myopia management focused on monitoring and helping slow that progression.
Regular assessments help show how your child's nearsightedness is changing over time.
Management strategies are individualized, and options depend on your child's assessment.
Managing myopia can help reduce the risk of high myopia and related eye health concerns.
What to Expect
A myopia management visit starts with a comprehensive look at your child's eyes. Here is the general flow.
Tell us about past prescriptions, family history of nearsightedness, and your child's daily routines.
We measure your child's nearsightedness and check how clearly they see at different distances.
Your optometrist assesses the characteristics of your child's eyes that help guide management.
Discuss suitable management options for your child and set a schedule for follow-up visits.
Why It Matters
As myopia progresses, children may need stronger and thicker glasses or contact lenses. Myopia management aims to slow that progression and reduce the chance of developing high myopia. High levels of myopia are linked with a greater risk of certain eye health complications later in life.
Every child is different, so there is no single approach that suits everyone. Your optometrist considers the specific characteristics of your child's eyes and the factors that may contribute to progression. The plan is then built around what the assessment shows.
Clear vision today, with an eye on the future.
For Scarborough Families
Myopia management works best with consistent follow-up, so a nearby clinic helps. Our Gordon Baker Road office is just west of Victoria Park Ave, an easy trip for families in L'Amoreaux, Milliken, and other north Scarborough neighbourhoods. Our team can help you plan visits around school schedules.
Bring your child's previous prescriptions to the first appointment if you have them. Knowing how quickly their prescription has changed gives your optometrist useful context. You will leave with a clear explanation of the plan and when to come back.
Regular visits keep your child's plan on track.

It is care focused on monitoring nearsightedness and helping slow its progression, rather than only correcting blurry vision with stronger glasses.
That depends on your child's assessment. Your optometrist will recommend an individualized plan and explain the reasons for it.
It is most often discussed for children because their eyes are still growing, but you can ask your optometrist about your family's situation.
Follow-up timing depends on your child's plan and how their eyes respond. Your optometrist will recommend a schedule.
