Myopia Management in San Jose, CA

In today’s digital world, more children are being diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness) than ever before—and it's happening at younger ages. At 20/20 Optometry of Silicon Valley, we understand how concerning it can be to watch your child’s vision worsen, especially with the rise in screen time from digital devices. By the time children reach high school, most of the books are online and assignments and tests are all performed on digital devices as well.

Why Myopia Matters

Myopia doesn’t just mean stronger glasses every year—it can also increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

That’s why slowing the progression of myopia early is one of the best ways to protect your child’s long-term eye health.

  • Specialty Contact Lenses:

    ● MiSight® 1 day contact lenses: FDA-approved daily disposable lenses clinically proven to slow myopia progression in children.● Duette® hybrid lenses: For patients who may benefit from a blend of soft lens comfort and rigid lens clarity.● Bifocal contact lenses: These soft lenses are designed with different focus zones that help reduce the eye’s tendency to elongate, a key factor in myopia progression.

  • Eyeglass Options:

    Bifocal or blended lens prescriptions can help reduce eye strain and slow the progression of nearsightedness.

    Low-dose atropine drops used at bedtime have shown great success in slowing down myopia, and our doctors can help determine if this treatment is right for your child.
