Protect Your Child’s Vision Early with Myopia Control
Your child’s eyes play an essential role in how they see and interact with the environment around them. When their vision is affected, so is their learning and development. Myopia affects around 40% of the United States population, with 1 in 4 parents having a child with myopia.
At Eye Sea Davis, we are dedicated to slowing myopia progression with personalized, effective treatments designed specifically for your child’s eyes.
Early intervention can make a big difference in preserving your child’s vision and supporting their success at school and beyond. Don’t wait to take action—schedule a comprehensive eye exam today and let us help protect your child’s eyesight for the future.
The Importance of Myopia Control
Myopia, or nearsightedness, happens when the eye grows too long or the cornea curves too much. This causes light to focus in front of the retina, making distant objects appear blurry. It often starts in childhood as the eyes develop and usually stabilizes by early adulthood.
If your child complains about headaches, squints frequently, or struggles to read the board at school, it’s time for an eye exam. Early detection and management of myopia are crucial to reduce the risks of serious conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal detachment later in life.
The Link Between Vision & Learning
Clear vision is essential for your child’s learning and development. When eyesight is blurry, children may struggle to focus, understand instructions, or keep up in the classroom. Undiagnosed vision problems can affect reading skills, attention, and overall academic performance.
Regular comprehensive eye exams help ensure your child sees their best, supporting both educational success and confidence.
Managing Myopia
With the increasing prevalence of myopia worldwide, Eye Sea Davis Optometry is excited to be part of the solution. We’ll assess your child’s eyes to determine their level of myopia and what solution will effectively slow its progression.
Our team is happy to discuss the potential for eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
MiSight 1-day contact lenses by CooperVision are single-use, easy-to-fit lenses to help slow the progression of myopia in children as young as 8 years old.
MiSight 1-day lenses use ActivControl Technology to slow the eye’s elongation while simultaneously correcting the refractive error. To do this, the contact lenses have 2 alternating treatment zones: a myopic defocus zone and a correction zone.
Discover if MiSight 1-day contact lenses are right for your child.
Orthokeratology, also known as ortho-k, are rigid gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight to shape your child’s cornea, helping to reduce their dependence on glasses and contact lenses during the day.
Ortho-k lenses may be a beneficial option for children experiencing mild to moderate myopia. These lenses flatten the cornea, reducing the eye’s refractive power, helping to slow myopia progression.
Ortho-k lenses are custom-made for each individual’s eye shape and prescription.
Stellest spectacle lenses designed by Essilor are the first FDA-approved spectacle lens designed to control the progression of myopia in children. For children who prefer wearing glasses to contact lenses, Stellest lenses provide the ideal treatment option.
Stellest lenses have a central vision zone that is customized to your child’s prescription, and an outer treatment zone that slows myopia progression by 71% on average, compared to single vision lenses.
Protecting the Future of Your Child’s Vision
When your child can see life clearly, they can successfully learn, grow, and develop. Bringing your child in for regular comprehensive eye exams is the most effective way to protect their gift of sight.

Real Patient Experiences
The tech person who conducted my eye exam was very competent and the optometrist was clear, knowledgeable, and encouraging.The staff at Eye Sea have been extremely helpful to me in working through a problem with my frames. I don’t know the name of the young woman who works at the front desk but she has been patient and knowledgeable on three separate occasions. And my problem has been solved!

Douglas
Dr. Gaganjot Virk was incredibly kind and helpful! I received a thorough eye checkup and finally understood the actual issue with my eyes. After the first visit, I had a minor problem with my glasses, and she generously offered a free follow-up visit. Kudos to her assistant too; she was very courteous and dedicated to her work!
Shalk
Everything about my appointment was perfect: the staff was ready for me when I arrived. They helped me navigate the digital documents and expertly took me through all the testing even while orienting a new employee. Most importantly, Dr Virk was so pleasant & made me feel comfortable immediately. She listened to my concerns & collaborated with me to come up with an amazing remedy! I can see so well now.
Carol
I’ve been doing my post Lasik appointments here and they’ve been amazing! The doctor walked me through how to better take care of my lash extensions and answered a ton of other questions. And they always see me right away at my appointment time (which hasn’t been the case at any other eye doctors I’ve been to in the last decade). Would definitely recommend!
