Ways to Manage Myopia in Children

Why is myopia management vital? It's about ensuring that your child's vision remains vibrant and unburdened by nearsightedness as they develop and lessening the risk of eye diseases later in life. Controlling myopia also improves their daily quality of life and contributes to academic success.

At Fishbaugh Family Eyecare, your child's visual well-being is one of our top priorities. We're committed to offering a range of effective myopia management treatments tailored to your child's unique needs.

Glasses and Contact Lenses for Clear Vision

Eyeglasses and contact lenses are common and effective treatments for myopia management. These options provide your child with clear and crisp vision, addressing nearsightedness and allowing them to see the world clearly.

Our team at Fishbaugh Family Eyecare offers a wide range of fashionable eyeglasses and comfortable contact lenses to cater to your child's specific needs. We understand that comfort and style are equally important when it comes to eyewear, and our experts are here to ensure your child receives the best options to fit their unique lifestyle and preferences.


Controlling Myopia with Atropine Eye Drops

Atropine eye drops are an effective treatment option for managing myopia in children. These specialized drops slow down the progression of nearsightedness, serving as a protective shield for your child's precious vision. Our experienced team will guide you through the usage and benefits of these drops as part of our comprehensive myopia management approach.

Vision Correction with Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, represents a modern and innovative myopia management treatment. This non-surgical approach involves custom-designed, gas-permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea. These specialized lenses work their magic overnight, gently correcting your child's vision, and are removed in the morning for clear vision during the day.

The various benefits of ortho-k make it an appealing choice for many parents.

  • Daytime Freedom from Glasses or Contacts

    Ortho-k affords your child the freedom to see clearly throughout the day without needing eyeglasses or contact lenses.

  • Slows Myopia Progression

    Research has shown that ortho-k can help curb the development of nearsightedness, potentially reducing the risk of more severe vision problems in the future.

  • Convenient and Safe

    Ortho-k lenses are a safe and versatile option for managing myopia in children of various ages. They are easy to use and maintain, providing parents peace of mind.

  • Improved Self Confidence

    Ortho-k lenses can significantly boost your child's self-confidence with clear vision without visible vision correction.

I just started going to Fishbaugh’s a year ago and have been treated very well. I have been in and... out of many eye doctor’s offices and have seen many eye care providers during my life due to my high prescription. However, I see myself continuing to stay and get treated at Fishbaugh’s. From my experience the doctors here also are very well trained in their practice and the hold their practice and care to the highest priority. The staff is very friendly and quick to making sure the needs of the patient are taken care of. Highly recommend going to Fishbaugh Family Eye care to take care of your vision.

I have been coming to this eyecare facility for several years. Recently I had an emergent eye issue... that was incredibly stressful, they were able to work me in the same day with no question. The staff and providers are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I have never had a more comprehensive eye exam, and would not hesitate to recommend their office for any and all eyecare needs.

They actually told me to come in quick, even tho they were going to be closing soon , and I’m so grateful and appreciative for it. I have been going here for years and love it! I have never had problems with getting in and they have great customer service. Definitely would recommend to anyone! I think they have a great team and I just wanted to thank them!

The doctor and staff are very compassionate and caring. They do everything they can to accommodate a... patient's schedule. They are very professional and knowledgeable. They take time to explain things thoroughly. The facility is very up-to-date, modern and clean. It is well worth the drive from St Mary's.

The experience every time I am at Fishbaugh Eye Care is pleasant. They make it a personal experience... . They never have a wait and they personally have staff to help you through every step by step process of picking out glasses, etc. Now the Doctors, Dr. Fishbaugh is the best eye doctor I have ever been to. He is thorough, works great with adults and children and his doctors that work with him are also great (which always makes me nervous if you can't see your main doctor, but they are great too). If you want quality eye care and the comfort of knowing that the doctor is actually caring about you, go to Fishbaugh Eye Care Also, the drive is worth it even if you aren't in St. Henry IMO
