Learn MoreMyopia Management
Slow the Progression. Protect Their Future.
Myopia (nearsightedness) often begins in childhood and without treatment, it can rapidly worsen as kids grow. While glasses correct blurry vision, they don’t address the root cause: an elongating eye that increases long-term risks for eye disease.
At Kennedy Vision Health Center, our myopia management program is designed to both correct your child’s vision today and help slow the condition’s progression over time. With specialized treatments like customized lenses and therapeutic options, we’re here to protect your child’s sight when it matters most.
