How Can My Child's Myopia Be Corrected?

At Grove City Vision Center, we help children like yours achieve clear and comfortable vision, so they can succeed at the important things in life.

Methods of Myopia Correction

Contact Lenses

Contacts can be a great choice, especially for physically active children or teens who don't want to worry about breaking or misplacing their eyeglasses. In some cases of very high myopia, contact lenses can offer clearer vision than glasses.

Corrective contact lenses are usually placed in the eyes upon waking and removed at night before bedtime. There are several types, including: soft contacts, daily disposables, extended wear, and rigid gas permeable (hard) lenses. Speak with our eye doctor to determine whether your child is ready for contact lenses.

Prescription Glasses

Glasses are a popular choice among our younger patients. Choosing from an array of styles makes the process fun and exciting! Allowing the children to be active participants in selecting their eyewear increases the likelihood that they'll actually wear them.

The optician can customize the lenses with additions and upgrades like impact-resistant or shatter-proof materials, scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coatings, UV filters, and transition lenses that darken in the sun. For those requiring vision correction for distance and near, we also offer bifocal or multifocal lens prescriptions.

We Can Help Correct Your Child's Myopia

If you're located near Grove City, Ohio, an eye exam with our optometrist can determine your child's exact prescription. Progressive myopia, where a growing child's prescription continues to worsen, is why it's important for myopic children to undergo eye exams at least once a year.

At Grove City Vision Center, our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be happy to recommend the most suitable method of correcting your child's myopia. To schedule your child's annual eye exam or if you have any further questions, contact Grove City Vision Center at (614) 875-8373 today.
