Bringing Your Child’s World into Focus
Is your child struggling to see distant objects clearly? Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a common condition that often starts in childhood and can worsen over time without proper care.
At Legacy Eye Care, we offer myopia control, a proactive approach designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness and help protect your child’s eye health for years to come. Don’t wait for blurry vision to impact your child’s learning and daily life. Early intervention can make all the difference.
Book a comprehensive eye exam today, and let’s get started on protecting your child’s vision for the future.
The Importance of Myopia Control
Myopia develops when the eye elongates too much or the cornea curves too steeply, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it, resulting in blurry distance vision.
Myopia control focuses on slowing the progression of nearsightedness in children, helping to reduce the risk of developing high myopia later in life. High myopia increases the chance of serious eye conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
Signs Your Child May Have Myopia
Myopia arises from a mix of genetic and environmental factors. While family history plays a role, increased time spent on near tasks like reading or screen use, along with less time outdoors, can increase the risk of developing myopia in children.
Children may not always realize that they have vision issues, so watch for these signs:
- Squinting to see far away
- Sitting close to the TV or in front of the classroom
- Frequent eye rubbing or blinking
- Complaints of headaches or blurry vision
- Difficulty recognizing distant objects
If you notice any of these, book an eye exam with our team to protect your child’s vision and learning experience.
The Connection Between Vision & Learning
Good vision plays a big role in how kids learn, focus, and engage in the classroom. When a child has undiagnosed vision problems like myopia, they may struggle with reading, paying attention, or participating in school activities.
Because kids don’t always know they’re seeing things differently, these issues can easily be mistaken for learning difficulties or behavioural concerns.
Managing myopia early helps support clear vision and sets the stage for confidence in school and everyday life.
How We Manage Myopia
While glasses and contact lenses correct blurry vision, they don’t slow myopia progression. At Legacy Eye Care, we offer innovative myopia control treatments designed to help protect your child’s long-term eye health.
Growing research around myopia control has seen specialty eyewear, such as specialty myopia control eyeglass lenses like MiYOSMART lenses, help to slow the progression of myopia in children. These lenses provide different focusing powers for distance and near vision, reducing the eye’s strain.
Depending on your child’s age, prescription, and lifestyle needs, our experienced team will create a personalized myopia control plan for them.

Early intervention is key to preserving your child’s vision. Schedule a comprehensive eye exam with Dr. Randhawa and our team at Legacy Eye Care. We’re here to answer all your questions and guide you through your options to protect your child’s eyesight for the future.
