Myopia Treatment in St. John’s, FL

What is Myopia?

Myopia is a common vision error that results from the eye being too long. Commonly known as nearsightedness, myopia causes distant objects to look blurry, which can negatively impact your day-to-day activities.

As myopia usually shows up during childhood and adolescence, early detection and treatment is key to preventing ever-increasing prescriptions or complications down the line. Thanks to our knowledgeable doctors and state-of-the-art equipment, we can help manage myopia in people of all ages.

We Can Limit Myopia’s Progression

Our caring doctors don’t want myopia to affect your child’s eye health or limit their performance in the classroom. Combining specialized expertise with modern technology, the myopia team at SJEA can successfully slow or halt myopia progression and correct vision, resulting in sharp eyesight that lasts.

Our Myopia Management Methods

To correct vision and control nearsightedness at the same time, our myopia specialists use the latest methods to provide every patient with personalized solutions. Our attentive doctors assess your eye health, discuss your vision and lifestyle, and determine the best myopia management method for you.

Overnight Contact Lenses

Overnight Contact Lenses

To slow myopia progression as you sleep, we provide custom-fit ortho-k lenses that gently reshape the eye’s surface overnight: this prevents the eye from getting longer, and temporarily corrects vision by the morning. Ortho-k lenses are a worry-free option that give your children sharp vision for school, sports, and other activities without needing to wear standard glasses or contacts during the day.

Daytime Soft Contact Lenses

Daytime Soft Contact Lenses

For comfortable daytime vision correction, our myopia doctors offer various types of soft contact lenses, including MiSight, Bausch + Lomb, and NaturalVue® multifocals. These specialized soft contact lenses allow you to see clearly at any distance and effectively reduce eye strain, one of the main accelerants of myopia development.

High-Quality Myopia Care at SJEA

Prescription Eye Drops

When applied nightly, low-dose atropine drops relax your eyes and decrease eye strain to hinder myopia. Since atropine drops don’t correct vision, they’re most effective when combined with daytime glasses or contacts, whether those are standard eyewear or one of the specialized options above.

Insurance & Financing with CareCredit®
