Are you tired of constantly reaching for your glasses or squinting at the world around you? Say goodbye to the hassle and frustration of myopia (nearsightedness) with our cutting-edge myopia management solutions. Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error in the eye where distant objects appear blurry, while close-up objects can be seen clearly. This occurs when the eye is too long relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens, or when the cornea itself is too curved. As a result, light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina rather than directly on it. Myopia is a common condition that typically develops in childhood and can worsen over time. It is often corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery, which help to focus light properly onto the retina for clear vision at all distances.

Pediatric Myopia Management
At NewVue, we specialize in proactive myopia management to help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and young adults. Dr. Ho offers a personalized approach using the latest, evidence-based treatments, including orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses, multifocal contact lenses, and atropine eye drops. These safe and effective therapies are designed to not only correct vision but also reduce the long-term risks associated with high myopia, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Let us help protect your child’s vision for a clearer, healthier future!
Ortho-K Lenses
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses are specially designed contacts that your child wears while sleeping. Overnight, they gently reshape the cornea to correct nearsightedness (myopia), allowing your child to see clearly during the day without glasses or contacts. Beyond clear vision, Ortho-K is a proven method to slow the progression of myopia—reducing the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, like retinal detachment or glaucoma. It's a safe, non-surgical way to protect your child’s vision and future eye health. If your child stops wearing the lenses, their cornea gradually returns to its original shape, and their vision will go back to its previous level of nearsightedness. This makes Ortho-K a non-permanent, non-surgical option—an appealing choice for parents who want flexibility while managing their child’s myopia.
Our doctor takes a personalized, focused approach to managing your child’s myopia with Ortho-K, using advanced corneal mapping and custom-fitted lenses to ensure safe, effective, and comfortable treatment. With close monitoring and regular follow-ups, we tailor care to support your child’s long-term eye health and clear vision.

Atropine Therapy

Atropine eye drops are a safe, effective option for slowing the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children. Used in very low concentrations, these drops are applied once nightly and help reduce the rate at which a child’s myopia worsens—without significantly affecting their near vision or daily activities. Dr. Ho will carefully determine the right dosage and monitor your child’s response with regular checkups. Atropine therapy is a simple, non-invasive way to help protect your child’s long-term vision and reduce the risk of serious eye conditions associated with high myopia later in life.
