Advanced myopia management strategies to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children using Ortho-K, Stellest lenses, and Atropine.
Understanding Myopia Control
At EyeCare Center of Orange County, we specialize in **Myopia Management** (also known as **近视控制** in Chinese, **Kiểm soát cận thị** in Vietnamese, **Control de la miopía** in Spanish, and **کنترل نزدیک بینی** in Farsi). Nearsightedness is more than just a prescription—it's a progressive condition that can impact your child's long-term eye health. Our comprehensive program utilizes FDA-approved treatments like **Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)**, **Essilor Stellest™ lenses**, and **Low-Dose Atropine** to slow this progression, protecting your child's vision for the future. By intervening early, we can significantly reduce the risk of future eye diseases associated with high myopia.
