Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common in children and teens. Woodburn Vision Source provides advanced myopia management in Woodburn, Oregon to help slow the progression of myopia and protect your child’s long-term eye health.

Children with progressing myopia are at greater risk for serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and myopic macular degeneration. Early intervention and ongoing monitoring can help reduce these risks while improving everyday vision and comfort.

Signs of myopia in children may include:

• Squinting to see far away

• Sitting too close to screens or televisions

• Holding books very close

• Frequent headaches

• Difficulty seeing the classroom board

• Eye strain or fatigue

Our team offers personalized myopia control treatments designed to fit your child’s lifestyle, vision needs, and eye health goals.
