Looking Ahead for Your Child

Managing myopia is about the long term.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, makes distant objects look blurry and often progresses during childhood. Dr. Mustafa Rawji works with families from Willowdale West to assess each child's eyes and recommend a management approach based on their individual needs.

Tracking progression

Regular assessments help show how your child's myopia is changing over time.

Protecting future eye health

Managing myopia aims to reduce the risk of high myopia and the eye health issues associated with it.

A plan for your child

Recommendations are based on your child's assessment, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

What to Expect

How we assess your child's myopia.

A myopia management plan starts with a comprehensive exam. Here is how the process usually begins.

  1. Learn about your child

    We ask about family history of nearsightedness, past prescriptions, schoolwork, screen time, and activities.

  2. Comprehensive eye exam

    Your child's vision and eye health are assessed to understand the characteristics of their eyes.

  3. Discuss management options

    Dr. Rawji explains suitable approaches for your child based on the assessment and answers your questions.

  4. Schedule monitoring

    We set a follow-up schedule to track progression and review how the plan is working.

Why It Matters

Stronger glasses every year is a signal.

Glasses correct blurry distance vision, but they are only part of the picture when myopia keeps progressing. Myopia management focuses on slowing that progression. This can help reduce the need for ever-stronger lenses and lower the risk of complications linked to high myopia.

If you or your partner are nearsighted, or your child's prescription has changed quickly, it is worth asking about. A thorough eye exam gives us a clear starting point. From there, we can talk about whether a management plan makes sense.

What is myopia?

Myopia, or nearsightedness, causes distant objects to appear blurry while near objects are usually clearer. It often develops and progresses during childhood.

Why manage myopia instead of just updating glasses?

Glasses correct vision, while myopia management focuses on slowing progression. This can help reduce the need for stronger lenses and lower the risk of eye health issues associated with high myopia.

Which approach will my child need?

That depends on your child's assessment. Dr. Rawji will recommend an approach based on their eyes, prescription, and needs, and explain why.

How often will my child need follow-up visits?

Myopia management involves regular monitoring. Your optometrist will recommend a schedule based on your child's plan and how their eyes respond.

Dr rawji and patty are great. I’ve been with them for over 10 years. He was concerned of an issue that I was getting and sent me to a specialist. Patty always make sure that I get Stylish classes every couple of years. Their new office is nice and it located close to 404 and 401.
