If your child has trouble seeing the whiteboard at school or squints to read street signs, they may be experiencing myopia. While glasses or contacts can correct vision, myopia is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a condition that can worsen over time if left unmanaged. At Rockford Family Eyecare, we understand that every child’s vision is unique. Our goal is to help parents in Rockford, MI, make informed decisions about myopia management, ensuring that their child’s eyesight remains as clear and healthy as possible for years to come.

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error in the eye where light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in blurred distant vision, while close-up objects remain clear. Myopia typically develops during childhood and can progressively worsen over time if left untreated.
