Nearsightedness, or myopia, is more than just blurry distance vision — it’s a growing eye health concern that can worsen rapidly in children and teens. At TSO Champions, we offer advanced nearsightedness management in Houston, TX, helping families slow or stop the progression of myopia with proven, science-backed treatments.

Whether your child is struggling with distance vision or you’ve been told they have astigmatism and nearsightedness, our team provides a full spectrum of care — from early diagnosis to long-term vision control.

What Is Myopia and Why Does It Matter?

Myopia (nearsightedness) is a condition where the eye grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry. It often develops in childhood and can worsen every year if left untreated. It also increases the risk of serious eye conditions later in life — including retinal detachment, glaucoma and macular degeneration.

A myopia exam not only checks for distance vision clarity but also evaluates eye length, prescription strength and risk of progression. Early intervention is key.

What to Expect During a Myopia Management Exam

At TSO Champions, our myopia tests are designed to catch nearsightedness early and track its progression over time. We tailor treatment plans based on your child’s age, prescription and lifestyle.

Your Exam Will Include:

  • Comprehensive visual acuity testing
  • Eye shape and axial length measurement
  • Retinal imaging and peripheral retina evaluation
  • Astigmatism screening (often linked with nearsightedness)
  • In-depth family history and lifestyle review
  • Customized myopia management recommendations

Treatment Options for Nearsightedness Management

We offer several cutting-edge solutions to help control and slow myopia:

Myopia Control Lenses

Specialized myopia control contact lenses that reduce peripheral blur and slow the elongation of the eye.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Custom-fitted contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea — providing clear vision by day and slowing myopia progression.

Multifocal Soft Contact Lenses

Daytime lenses with multiple focal zones that correct vision and limit eye growth.

Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops

Clinically proven to slow myopia in children when used consistently under supervision.
We'll help you select the method best suited to your child’s needs, comfort, and prescription level.

Nearsightedness and Myopia FAQs

What's the difference between nearsightedness and myopia?

They’re the same! “Myopia” is the medical term for nearsightedness — when far-away objects appear blurry.

How do I know if my child has myopia?

Common signs include squinting, sitting close to screens, or frequent complaints of blurry distance vision. A myopia exam can confirm the diagnosis.

Can astigmatism occur with nearsightedness?

Yes — astigmatism and nearsightedness often occur together. We screen for both and tailor treatment accordingly.

Does insurance cover myopia management?

It varies. Some plans cover certain exam elements or lenses. We’ll help you understand all myopia management costs and financing options.

Can myopia be reversed?

While it can’t be reversed, progression can be slowed or stopped with early treatment and the right management strategy.
