Myopia Control
Slowing Nearsightedness in Children with Safe, Proven Treatments
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry. It typically develops in childhood and tends to worsen with age. At Healthy Eyes Optometry in Las Vegas, our eye doctor offers evidence-based myopia control to slow progression and help protect your child’s long-term eye health.

​
-
Retinal detachment
-
Glaucoma
-
Cataracts
-
Macular degeneration
