Canadian clinics already know how big this shift is. Are we ready in the U.S.?

Strong OD/MD partnership. It’s not a new concept… it’s a familiar one applied earlier in a child’s journey.

The Real Cardinal Sins of Myopia Management 🔍
It’s rarely about a “botched fit.”
The biggest mistakes in myopia management are the ones we create ourselves:

📢 Sydnexis has announced that the FDA has issued a Complete Response Letter for its NDA for SYD-101, a proprietary 0.01% atropine formulation intended to slow myopia progression in children.

We’re past due on this, according to Dr. Cary Herzberg:
Myopia is a disease — and early treatment, prevention, and axial length monitoring aren’t optional anymore.
#MyopiaManagement #MyopiaControl #EyeHealth #Optometry
Global regulators are moving ahead — the U.S. is stalled.
Myopia is a chronic progressive disease, and low-dose atropine is safe, effective, and essential.
EU + U.K. have already approved SYD-101. The U.S. still hasn’t.
#Myopia #MyopiaControl #Optometry #Atropine #EyeHealth
Myopia isn’t “just genetics.”
Clinicians do have responsibility — because myopia is a progressive disease we can manage.
It’s past time we treat it like one.
Myopia is a disease. Period.

We don’t let myopia get worse. 👁️
Myopia is a growing problem — one that can’t be left to just a few hundred specialists. Every practice has a role to play. www.myopiamindset.com

That “minus” on the prescription isn’t just a number — it means the eye is stretching and getting weaker.
Myopia control isn’t about lenses; it’s about protecting sight for life. 💙

Myopia = the eye growing too long, too fast, and getting weaker.
Our job is to do something about it—simply.

If you’re serious about myopia management, stop charging for products — start charging for programs.
This isn’t about selling lenses or drops. It’s about providing a system of care that protects a child’s vision for life.

Nearsightedness (myopia) often progresses with age, especially in children & teens. Early detection and treatments like special lenses, eye drops, or lifestyle changes can slow it down and protect long-term vision. #MyopiaControl #Nearsightedness #beverlyhillsdoc #westlakevillage
Nearsightedness (myopia) can worsen over time - but progression can be slowed. Treatments like special lenses, eye drops, or lifestyle changes can help protect vision and reduce risks. Early care matters.

New 2025 study (BMC Ophthalmology, DOI: 10.1186/s12886-025-04265-8) shows:
👉 Kids in OrthoK do better when follow-ups are regular.
👉 Axial length, not just prescription, shows if myopia is really under control.
Follow-up = better future vision.

J has been wearing OrthoK for 20+ years. Once a week = 20/20 vision.
OrthoK = overnight lens that reshapes the eye while you sleep. Works for kids and adults at any age. Great option if you don’t like glasses or LASIK.

Dogs can smell cancer.
But myopia? That’s your eye doc’s job—not even their German Shepherd can help. 😄

What do Vuity (a drop for presbyopia aka near vision loss) and Ortho-K night lenses for myopia have in common?
Turns out—they can both help with glare and halos at night.

👁️ Every eye is a little universe👁️
Kids don’t always say when they can’t see well. I always recommend getting their eyes checked before school starts.

Is your child always sitting close to the TV?
That’s not “just a habit.” It could be myopia—and the sooner we catch it, the better.

Kids with myopia feel more anxious—studies show it.
One study even showed 13–14 year olds with myopia had way higher trait anxiety.
👁️ Helping them see better is just the start.

👁 Nearsightedness = blurry distance vision
🧠 Myopia = an eye that’s growing too long
Not the same—and one carries long-term risk.
We specialize in slowing myopia in kids through Ortho-K & low-dose atropine.

Navy white → clinic blue.
Back then, I fought visible threats.
Now I fight the invisible ones—like myopia in kids.
No headlines. Just biology, screens, and time.
Different battlefield.
Same mission: protect what matters.
Happy 4th!

Ortho-K lenses do more than correct vision while your child sleeps.
They also slow the progression of myopia.
At Clairemont Optometry Myopia Treatment Center, we specialize in Ortho-K for Kids.
