We Offer Myopia Management Strategies in Arlington
Myopia is a prevalent vision problem that causes distant objects to appear blurry, particularly in children and teenagers. If you’re searching for effective ways to treat myopia or myopia vision therapy for your child, this is the perfect place for you. Our team strives to ensure your child has clear vision and comfortable eyesight.
Myopia, often called nearsightedness, is a common vision issue. Children with myopia have no trouble seeing things up close, while distant objects appear blurry. It happens because either the eyeball is too long or the front part of the eye (the cornea) is too curved.
Myopia often starts during childhood and persists into adulthood. Understanding that myopia can lead to serious eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment later in life is crucial. This is why seeking professional help and taking preventive measures early on is important. But don't worry; we're here to guide you through this journey.
At Virginia Vision, we will help you see clearly and enjoy the view, no matter how near or far.

Prescription Eyeglasses
For individuals with myopia, prescription eyeglasses play a significant role in managing the condition. These glasses correct the refractive error, allowing for clear vision and enhancing the quality of life.
Contact Lenses
Depending on your preferences and lifestyle, we recommend soft contact lenses or rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses as an alternative to glasses.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Ortho-k lenses are designed to reshape the cornea overnight, providing clear vision during the day without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses.
We don't just focus on treating myopia; we're dedicated to preventing its progression. For children and adolescents, myopia management is crucial to reduce the risk of future eye complications associated with high myopia.
Our personalized myopia management plans may include treatments like ortho-k or specialized contact lenses to slow myopia progression. These strategies aim to maintain clear vision and visual comfort over time.
