Myopia Management in Edmonton, AB

Slowing the progression of nearsightedness in children.

Helping Your Child See Clearly Now and in the Future »

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common in school-aged children. It means your child can see objects up close, but distant things, like the board at school, appear blurry. While glasses and contact lenses can correct vision, they don’t slow the progression of myopia.

At Ever Square Eye Care, we offer a proactive, research-backed approach to managing myopia in children. With tools like MiYOSMART lenses, we aim to help reduce the rate at which your child’s vision worsens.

Signs Your Child May Have Myopia

Children don’t always realize when their vision has changed. These are some of the signs parents often notice first:

Sitting very close to screens or books
Squinting to see faraway objects
Holding items unusually close to the face
Frequent complaints of headaches or eye strain
Difficulty seeing the whiteboard or road signs
Blinking a lot or rubbing eyes during visual tasks

If you’ve noticed any of these behaviours, it may be time for a pediatric eye exam and a conversation about managing myopia.

Why Managing Myopia Matters

When left unchecked, myopia can worsen throughout childhood and adolescence. While stronger prescriptions can correct vision, increasing levels of nearsightedness may raise the risk of future eye health issues, including retinal changes, glaucoma, and early cataracts.

By slowing the progression of myopia during childhood, we’re working to protect their long-term visual health and reduce their risk of complications.

MiYOSMART Lenses for Myopia Control

Ever Square Eye Care is proud to offer MiYOSMART spectacle lenses—a clinically proven, non-invasive way to slow the progression of myopia in children.

Developed by Hoya and backed by years of research, MiYOSMART lenses use D.I.M.S. (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) technology to help gently control how light is focused in the eye, encouraging healthier visual development.

MiYOSMART is ideal for:

Children who are becoming more nearsighted each year
Kids who may not be ready for contact lenses
Families looking for a simple, effective option for myopia management
