Nurturing Healthy Vision in Growing Minds

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is more than just blurry distance vision. It affects a great number of children and significantly increases the risk of sight-threatening conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration later in life.

At Unger Eye Care, we recognize that childhood is a critical period for vision development, and our commitment goes beyond traditional eye care. We believe in proactively nurturing healthy vision in growing minds to minimize future risks and unlock a lifetime of clear sight.

Personalized Care Tailored for Your Child's Needs

When you entrust your child’s eye care to us, rest assured that we prioritize their individual needs. Our expert team conducts a thorough myopia assessment, considering not only the visual aspect but also your child’s overall health, family history, and lifestyle habits. This personalized care ensures that the myopia management plan aligns seamlessly with your child’s unique requirements.

Unger Eye Care is dedicated to making the myopia management journey enjoyable and effective for your child. Our range of child-friendly options, from specially designed MyoVision™ eyeglasses that reduce peripheral blur to innovative contact lenses like Ortho-K that gently reshape the cornea overnight, helps ensure long-term wellness. We prioritize comfort, effectiveness, and your child's overall experience.

Technology is at the heart of our precise and gentle myopia control methods. Unger Eye Care utilizes cutting-edge technology like topography scans and advanced wavefront aberrometers to create customized treatment plans and monitor progress effectively.

Lifestyle Habits for Healthy Eyes and a Happy Childhood

Beyond corrective measures, Unger Eye Care believes in empowering parents with valuable insights. We guide you on fostering eye-healthy lifestyle habits for your child, including the importance of:

  • Outdoor play: Sunlight exposure helps regulate eye growth and naturally slows myopia progression.
  • Managing screen time: Limiting digital device use reduces eye strain and promotes healthy eye development.
  • Ergonomic practices: Encouraging proper posture and lighting during near-work tasks minimizes eye fatigue.

These habits not only contribute to their eye health but can also enrich their overall childhood experience.
