Did you know? Your child's myopia (nearsightedness) largely depends on two major factors: genetics and lifestyle.

Children who have one or two nearsighted parents are at much higher risk of being nearsighted themselves.

AND, kids who spend too much time on near-activities, such as using their digital devices, and don't get outdoors enough also increase their chances of developing myopia.

Fortunately, we offer a variety of treatments to slow or even halt myopia progression. Contact us today to learn more!

Does your child have convergence insufficiency (CI)? An exercise called "pencil pushups" might help! It's an eye exercise that teaches the eyes to focus inwards when looking at objects that are nearby. When done consistently, along with a doctor-prescribed vision therapy regimen, this exercise can be very effective at treating CI and helping your child achieve convergence.
