All contact lenses, even purely cosmetic ones, are considered medical devices and require a prescription. If contact lenses are right for you, your doctor of optometry can provide you with the lenses, lens care kits, individual instructions for wear and care and follow-up visits over a specified time. Never buy your lenses from retail outlets, or from online sites that don't require a prescription.

Why Annual Eye Exams Matter:

Your child’s vision can change rapidly, especially during growth spurts. Just like how they outgrow their clothes and shoes, their eyes can also undergo significant changes within a short period. An annual eye exam ensures that any vision changes are detected early and managed appropriately.

Signs of Myopia in Children:
● Squinting at the TV
● Holding books or devices very close to their face
● Complaining of headaches
● Difficulty seeing the board in class

Ignoring these signs can lead to more severe problems down the road, including difficulties in school and a higher risk of future eye diseases.

The Risks of Untreated Myopia
Untreated myopia can lead to several complications that affect your child's academic and social life:

● Falling Behind in School: Unclear vision can make it hard for your child to see the board, read assignments, and participate actively in class.
● Less Confidence: Vision problems can impact a child's self-esteem, causing them to hesitate to participate in class or avoid activities requiring clear vision.
● Potential Misdiagnosis: Symptoms like headaches or squinting can sometimes be mistaken for behavioral issues, leading to unnecessary frustration for both the child and parents.
Early Detection and Myopia Management

Early detection is key in managing myopia. During your child’s annual eye exam, discuss any concerns about their vision with the doctor.

If myopia is detected, there are several treatment options available to slow its progression, including specialized lenses and lifestyle changes.

Virtual Consultations: For busy families, virtual consultations offer a convenient way to get your child’s eyes checked from the comfort of your home. A doctor can assess potential myopia and discuss treatment options without the need to visit an office.

Family History and Myopia
If myopia runs in your family, your child has a higher risk of developing it. This makes regular eye exams even more critical. Early detection allows for early intervention, which can help slow the progression of myopia and maintain your child’s eye health.

Treehouse Eyes at Today’s Vision Tyler offers comprehensive eye care for the whole family.

Are you concerned about your child's vision? Try this simple at-home myopia test:

1) Hold a book or an object with text at arm's length.
2) Have your child read the text from 10 feet away.
3) Observe if they squint or move closer to see clearly.
4) Check their reading habits — do they hold books very close?

While it's not a substitute for a professional eye exam, it can help you decide if your child needs an eye exam.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

Many people think that vision therapy is only for children. However, adults have as much need for this type of vision care as children. Vision therapy is often effective for adults because they are motivated to improve their visual abilities.

When people have trouble using both eyes together or can't focus for great lengths of time, they do not simply grow out of these problems. Children with visual problems often become adults with visual problems.
