Welcome to Laguna Eyes Optometry, where we proudly celebrate 45 years of delivering exceptional eye care to the Laguna community and beyond. Our journey began with a vision, and today, we continue to uphold our commitment to excellence by offering innovative solutions like ortho-k for effective pediatric myopia management.
A Legacy of Ortho-K Expertise
Orthokeratology (ortho-k) has been integral to our practice since its inception. Our founder, a true visionary in the field of eye care, introduced ortho-k in the 1970s. This non-invasive and groundbreaking treatment for pediatric myopia management has transformed countless children's lives over the decades.
Carrying the torch forward, Dr. Alicia Harrison now leads our practice. With two decades of dedicated experience in ortho-k for pediatric myopia management, Dr. Harrison brings expertise that sets us apart. In an era where many optometrists are just beginning to explore the potential of ortho-k for children, Dr. Harrison's knowledge and skill are second to none.
What You Need to Know About Childhood Myopia
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness in children, is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while those up close are clear. It typically develops during childhood and progresses as a child grows. Myopia can lead to more severe nearsightedness if left unmanaged, increasing the risk of eye diseases like glaucoma and retinal detachment in adulthood.
Ortho-K: A Proven Solution for Pediatric Myopia Management
Ortho-k is a specialized treatment that uses custom-designed contact lenses to reshape the cornea gently. This reshaping process allows light to properly focus on the retina, slowing down myopia progression in children. Children wear these specialized lenses overnight and enjoy clear vision throughout the day without needing glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Is Ortho-K Right for Your Child?
If you're exploring options for pediatric myopia management, ortho-k could be the solution you've been searching for. Our practice offers comprehensive ortho-k consultations to determine if this treatment aligns with your child's visual needs and lifestyle. During the consultation, we will assess your child's eye health, discuss myopia management goals, and create a personalized plan.
Invest in Your Child's Vision, Secure Their Future
Childhood myopia is a condition that requires proactive management. With ortho-k, you're investing in your child's clear vision and the long-term health of their eyes. Reducing myopia progression can significantly lower the risks associated with high myopia, such as retinal detachment and glaucoma.
