Thinking Long Term

Slowing myopia while eyes are still growing.

Nearsightedness often increases through childhood and the teen years. Dr. Mustafa Rawji assesses each child carefully, monitors changes over time, and recommends management options based on the individual assessment, so York Mills parents can make informed choices.

Careful measurement

A comprehensive exam with detailed measurements helps us understand the characteristics of your child's eyes.

Regular monitoring

Scheduled follow-ups show whether myopia is progressing and whether the plan needs adjusting.

Options explained

Your optometrist explains which approaches may suit your child and why, so you can decide together.

What to Expect

Your child's first myopia visit.

We tailor each assessment to your child. The first visit usually includes these steps.

  1. Learn about your child

    We discuss study habits, screens, outdoor time, family history, and past prescriptions.

  2. Assess their prescription

    We measure your child's vision and nearsightedness at this point in time.

  3. Examine and measure the eyes

    Your optometrist checks eye health and takes measurements that help guide the plan.

  4. Agree on a plan

    We explain the findings, discuss suitable options, and set a follow-up schedule.

Study Habits and Screens

Long hours of close work add up.

Many students near York Mills keep busy schedules full of reading, homework, tutoring, and screen time. Your optometrist will ask about these habits, along with time spent outdoors and any family history of nearsightedness. Together, they help build a picture of your child's risk of progression.

Myopia management takes a holistic look at the factors that may contribute to nearsightedness. The goal is to slow its progression, which may help reduce the need for ever-stronger lenses. It may also help lower the risk of eye health problems linked to high myopia later in life.

Partnering With Parents

You will always know what the plan is.

Every child is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach. After the assessment, your optometrist will explain the options that may suit your child, what each involves, and what to expect. You and your child can ask questions and decide together.

Follow-up visits let us measure progress and adjust the plan if needed. York Mills families can call (416) 497-3705 to schedule around school terms and activities. If your child's vision seems to change between visits, let us know.

What options are available?

Options depend on your child's assessment. Your optometrist will explain which approaches may suit your child and what each involves.

Does screen time cause myopia?

Many factors may contribute, including family history and time spent on close work. Your optometrist will discuss your child's habits as part of the assessment.

How will we know if the plan is working?

Regular follow-up visits allow us to measure changes and adjust the plan if needed.
