Myopia Control

What is Myopia Control?

Myopia control in children focuses on slowing the progression of nearsightedness—not reversing it. These methods are widely used in the U.S., including Georgia, and are supported by major ophthalmology organizations.

​​​​​​​Myopia (nearsightedness) happens when the eye grows too long. Myopia control aims to slow that eye growth to reduce the risk of future eye diseases such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration.
