Myopia Detection and Management at Lowcountry
At Lowcountry Eye Care, we can detect myopia with our comprehensive pediatric eye exams. While eyeglasses can correct your child’s vision, they won’t fix the underlying issue of myopia. Our advanced diagnostics can then help us create a custom plan for your child to best treat their unique case to limit myopia’s effects, slow its progression and protect their eyes for the future! We’re also certified to fit MiSight® lenses and offer strain-relieving atropine eye drops to get their myopia under control.
Personalized Myopia Management Plans
With our wide range of state-of-the-art technology and treatment options, our expert doctors create customized myopia management plans for children. We’ll tailor your child’s plan to their specific needs and adjust as necessary if anything changes.
Advanced Diagnostics
We use advanced diagnostics to catch myopia as early as possible. Once detected, our skilled doctors use our cutting-edge technology to monitor and track the progression of your child’s myopia. The tools at our disposal also help us create personalized management plans that are catered to your child’s unique eyes.
Expert Doctors
Our doctors aren’t just experts in generalized eye care — Drs. Pitcavage, Shealy, Salter, and Vitta all specialize in myopia management techniques, and are certified to fit MiSight® lenses. With their caring hands and deep understanding of myopia, they’ll create an easy-to-manage, personalized treatment plan that accounts for your little one’s lifestyle.
Specialized Contact Lenses and Glasses
One-day, disposable MiSight® lenses use a unique design to ease eye strain and help slow the progression of myopia. We also offer specialty glasses for myopia management to achieve similar results. These are excellent options for young children because they can be seamlessly incorporated into their daily life to treat and manage myopia, while simultaneously correcting their vision.
Atropine Eye Drops
Atropine eye drops are a treatment option used to slow the progression of myopia by slightly dilating your child’s pupil. While they do not correct vision, they are an effective option for easing eye strain and can be supplemented with a comprehensive management plan.
