Optometrist & Owner
What is myopia?
Myopia means distance vision is blurry, often because the eye has lengthened. Tracking myopia progression matters because higher myopia can increase long-term eye health risk.
Pediatric myopia management
Care may include low-dose Atropine when appropriate. Dr. Hamilton writes the prescription, and Atropine is dispensed by a pharmacy. Guidance also covers outdoor time, screen-time breaks such as the 20-20-20 rule, reading distance, and lighting.
Specialty options on request
Specialty contact lens approaches for myopia control, including MiSight or ortho-K, may be available depending on the patient and current inventory; please ask during the visit.
