One-Stop Solution to Slow Myopia and Protect Your Child’s Vision
Myopia in urban Indian children has surged from
4% to 25%, increasing risks of glaucoma, retinal detachment, cataract, macular degeneration, and vision loss if left unaddressed
At India’s best Myopia clinic, our Experts provide early detection and proven treatments to control Myopia Progression and safeguard your child’s vision
Is your Child's Vision at Risk
Myopia, or short-sightedness, occurs when the eyeball is elongated, or the lenses/cornea are too thick.

Genetic predisposition increases risk; children of myopic parents are more likely to develop myopia.
Close work habits, screen time, and lack of natural light contribute to myopia development and progression.
Over 60% of children with learning difficulties have untreated vision problems, often mistaken for behavioral or attention issues.
Poor vision affects confidence, social skills, and self-esteem, limiting a child’s growth and ability to reach full potential.
These issues must be managed by trained experts in vision and myopia management to avoid lifelong developmental consequences.
Understanding Myopia
Juvenile myopia, or childhood nearsightedness, usually begins between ages 6 and 14 and occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea/lens is overly curved. Caused by genetics, screen overuse, and limited outdoor time, it worsens with age. Early diagnosis, regular eye checkups, and myopia control treatments help slow progression and reduce risks like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment.
Genetic Risk
Genetic factors play a significant role in myopia development. Children with one or both myopic parents have a higher risk of developing nearsightedness. Inherited eye structure traits can predispose them to elongated eyeballs or curved corneas, increasing the likelihood of myopia onset and progression during childhood.

Power Risk
Maintaining myopia below -6.00 diopters is crucial to reduce serious risks like cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic maculopathy. While complication risks increase from -3.00 diopters, they rise exponentially beyond -6.00 due to greater eye elongation and retinal thinning. Early myopia control and management are essential for healthy vision and preventing vision loss.
Concerned about your child's vision?
Look out for the signs of Progressive Myopia!
Frequent Squinting
Children with progressive myopia often squint to see distant objects clearly. If you notice your child squinting regularly, especially when looking at distant objects like street signs or the whiteboard at school, it could be a sign of myopia.
Difficulty Seeing Distant Objects Clearly
Children may complain of difficulty seeing things far away, such as the chalkboard in the classroom or television across the room.
Sitting Close to the TV or Screen
If your child consistently sits very close to the television, computer screen, or holds books and devices very close to their face, it could indicate they are trying to compensate for nearsightedness.
Frequent Rubbing of Eyes
Children with progressive myopia may rub their eyes frequently, especially after focusing on distant objects for an extended period. This can be due to eye strain.
Frequent Headaches or Eye Strain
Complaints of headaches, particularly around the forehead or temples, or general eye strain, especially after activities that require focusing on distant objects, may suggest myopia.
Changes in Academic Performance
If your child's academic performance drops suddenly or they struggle to see the board at school, it could be due to vision problems like myopia.
Avoidance of Activities requiring Good Vision
Children with progressive myopia may avoid activities like playing sports or outdoor games that require good distance vision because they find it difficult to see clearly.
Family History
If there's a family history of myopia, children are at a higher risk of developing it themselves. Parents should be especially vigilant in monitoring their child's vision if myopia runs in the family.

Pharmacological Drops
Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops are a clinically proven solution to slow myopia progression in children by reducing eye elongation. Used daily in concentrations between 0.01% and 0.05%, this safe and non-invasive treatment offers effective myopia control, especially for younger children or those not ready for contact lenses or spectacles.

Optical Treatments
- Orthokeratology Lenses reshape the cornea overnight, reducing myopia progression by up to 50%.
- Defocus or Multi-Zone Spectacles Lenses slow eye elongation, ideal for young kids.
- Multifocal Soft Contact Lenses offer daily comfort and effective myopia management for teens.
Combination Therapy
Combining Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops with either Orthokeratology Lenses or Defocus Spectacle Lenses provides stronger Myopia Control for children at moderate to high risk of rapid Myopia Progression. This dual approach enhances effectiveness by targeting both Eye Elongation and visual focus, offering advanced protection for growing eyes.
Red-Light Therapy
Repeated Low-Level Red-Light Therapy (RLRL) is an emerging, non-invasive treatment showing promising results in slowing myopia progression in children. Delivered in short sessions under clinic supervision, RLRL is gaining global recognition as a safe and effective myopia control option, especially when combined with other evidence-based treatments for enhanced outcomes.
Lifestyle Modifications
Spending 90–120 minutes outdoors daily is proven to delay onset and reduce myopia progression in children. Reducing screen time, encouraging frequent visual breaks, and promoting balanced near work habits are vital lifestyle strategies in effective myopia management, supporting healthier visual development and reducing the risk of long-term eye complications.
