Myopia Treatment from Our Optometrist Near You

If you’ve ever been told by an optometrist that you or your child have nearsightedness, you have what we call “myopia.” Although this word might seem confusing, we’ve seen plenty of patients over the years who seek treatment for this condition and find success in improving their vision with our treatments. At Epic Vision Eye Center, we’re glad to be serving the communities of Baldwin City, Bonner Springs, Clay Center, Dodge City, Manhattan, North Kansas City, Parkville, Smithville, and Washington. 

What Causes Myopia?

According to the National Eye Institute, myopia can happen when a few different issues occur in the development of the eye. No matter what the cause is for the condition, it is either elongated eyeballs or imperfections in the lenses of the eyes that cause myopia. Even if we can’t identify the source of your myopia, we can determine the treatment options that may work best for you.

Schedule Regular Eye Exams for Myopia

As you may know, it’s important to establish a relationship with an eye doctor near you. That way, you can receive the treatments and vision aids you need in order to maintain clear vision.

Options for Managing Myopia

Our optometrist near you uses several methods to treat myopia. The first line of defense we provide is vision correction. Another option for myopia management in children is eye drops that can improve vision in some cases. We can also employ orthokeratology, also known as “ortho-k,” to mold the cornea over time into a shape that reduces myopia and lowers the need for multifocal lenses. If you’re not sure which treatment is right for you, our team of optometry professionals can help weigh the pros and cons.
