Gwinnett Pediatric & Adult Eye Care Center| Suwanee, Georgia
At Gwinnett Pediatric & Adult Eye Center we understand that Healthy vision is one of the most important components of your child’s wellness. Vision develops rapidly starting at birth and is tied to many developmental milestones, such as hand-eye coordination and reading. In the long term, your child’s vision will impact how they learn, play, and interact with the world. Not all visual disorders can be detected with a standard exam. We are proud to provide a comprehensive pediatric examination that will access ocular health and any related systemic health conditions
Although an outright cure for nearsightedness has not been discovered, at Gwinnett Pediatrics & Adult Eye Center, we offer several evidence-based treatments that may help slow the progression of myopia in children and teens.
These treatments can induce changes in how the eye grows and focuses, helping to reduce stress and fatigue that contribute to worsening nearsightedness. Slowing myopia progression may help prevent your child from developing high levels of nearsightedness, which are often linked to serious eye health issues later in life, such as early cataracts or retinal detachment.
Our Myopia Control Programs Include:
Special gas-permeable lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea and provide clear vision during the day without glasses or contacts.
Low-dose atropine eye drops used nightly to slow eye growth and reduce myopia progression.
FDA-approved daily disposable lenses designed specifically for myopia control in children.
Innovative spectacle lenses that use H.A.L.T. technology to reduce myopia progression while offering clear and comfortable vision.
Each treatment option is tailored to your child’s age, lifestyle, and prescription needs. During your comprehensive eye exam, our doctors will recommend the most suitable program to help protect your child’s long-term vision.
Your eyes are one of the most complex organs in your body. Our comprehensive eye exam will assess your visual system and eye health and it will involve a number of different of tests. Unlike a simple vision screening, which only assesses your vision, a comprehensive eye exam will include a battery of tests in order to provide you with a complete evaluation of the health of your eyes and your vision.
