As the holiday season approaches and we reflect on the things we’re most grateful for, it’s easy to overlook one of the most important gifts of all: our vision. For children, their eyes are thankful for everything they experience—from the colors of autumn leaves to the joy of spending time with family. But what happens when their eyesight is at risk?
Consider taking our quick Myopia Risk Assessment to see if your child may be at risk for myopia and find out how you can help protect their vision.
At Treehouse Eyes, we understand that clear vision is something to be cherished and protected, especially for children diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness). Myopia is a progressive condition that affects more than just sight—it can impact their ability to engage fully in everyday activities and, without intervention, increase the risk of developing serious eye diseases later in life.
This November, we encourage parents to protect what their children’s eyes are thankful for by addressing myopia early and proactively. Here’s how you can ensure your child’s vision stays healthy for years to come:
Routine eye exams are essential to detect myopia early. The earlier myopia is diagnosed, the more effectively it can be managed. Regular checkups allow you to stay ahead of vision changes and ensure your child gets the best possible care. Take our Myopia Risk Assessment to understand whether your child may benefit from early intervention.
Studies show that spending time outdoors can help slow the progression of myopia. Encourage your child to get outside and play—natural light is a gift that supports their eye health.
With children spending more time on digital devices, it’s important to balance screen use with eye health. Try to limit screen time to less than two hours per day.
At Treehouse Eyes, we specialize in slowing the progression of myopia through advanced treatments like custom contact lenses, specialized glasses, and atropine eye drops. These solutions don’t just correct your child’s vision—they help protect their eyes from worsening myopia and future eye health risks.
