Ways to Manage Myopia in Children

Why is myopia management vital? It's about ensuring that your child's vision remains vibrant and unburdened by nearsightedness as they develop and lessening the risk of eye diseases later in life. Controlling myopia also improves their daily quality of life and contributes to academic success.

At Fishbaugh Family Eye Care, your child's visual well-being is one of our top priorities. We're committed to offering a range of effective myopia management treatments tailored to your child's unique needs.

Glasses and Contact Lenses for Clear Vision

Eyeglasses and contact lenses are common and effective treatments for myopia management. These options provide your child with clear and crisp vision, addressing nearsightedness and allowing them to see the world clearly.

Our team at Fishbaugh Family Eye Care offers a wide range of fashionable eyeglasses and comfortable contact lenses to cater to your child's specific needs. We understand that comfort and style are equally important when it comes to eyewear, and our experts are here to ensure your child receives the best options to fit their unique lifestyle and preferences.


Controlling Myopia with Atropine Eye Drops

Atropine eye drops are an effective treatment option for managing myopia in children. These specialized drops slow down the progression of nearsightedness, serving as a protective shield for your child's precious vision. Our experienced team will guide you through the usage and benefits of these drops as part of our comprehensive myopia management approach.

Vision Correction with Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, represents a modern and innovative myopia management treatment. This non-surgical approach involves custom-designed, gas-permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea. These specialized lenses work their magic overnight, gently correcting your child's vision, and are removed in the morning for clear vision during the day.

The various benefits of ortho-k make it an appealing choice for many parents.

  • Daytime Freedom from Glasses or Contacts

    Ortho-k affords your child the freedom to see clearly throughout the day without needing eyeglasses or contact lenses.

  • Slows Myopia Progression

    Research has shown that ortho-k can help curb the development of nearsightedness, potentially reducing the risk of more severe vision problems in the future.

  • Convenient and Safe

    Ortho-k lenses are a safe and versatile option for managing myopia in children of various ages. They are easy to use and maintain, providing parents peace of mind.

  • Improved Self Confidence

    Ortho-k lenses can significantly boost your child's self-confidence with clear vision without visible vision correction.

I asked for reviews on Facebook for this location and most of my friends are on Facebook did not giv... e high recommendations. I was a little skeptical when I went today, but I found nothing wrong with the office or the doctor. I feel like the doctor did great with my four year-old son. My son was hyper. He didn’t understand all the doctors directions and he still did really well with him played games with him and made it a good experience for me. I have no complaints. This is the second doctor I went to and honestly, I had a better experience here than our last one.

Took my 15 mth old medical foster child for an appointment and Brandi made his needs a priority!! Br... andi is the reason he was scheduled here and will return for his future needs! Dr. Bankey was great with him and was really patient while trying to get the information for diagnosis, I would recommend her for anyone's Littles. Then there was Lindsay she was such a help with the little guy, he does not do well with new places or people. See you in a few months Ladies!!

Update, Brandy did awesome today. Answered all my questions and was able to help me understand some ... things that I was not understanding before my visit. The staff helped me with sunglasses and contacts. They had all the patients in the world To work with me and my eyelashes being in the way!!! Such an amqzing staff they have here. From the front desk staff to the nurse inside the room with the doctor to picking out glasses and contacts.and then trying contacts in. The doctor answered all of my questions and when I said I still don’t understand what the doctor was saying he slowed himself down and explained it to me. My eyes are dilated so I’m sorry if I misspelled the word or something does not make sense I really cannot see my phone Great Doctors, Sarah and Brandy the front desk clerks are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and the nursing staff is always friendly and explained all my questions.
