Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is becoming more common in children, and it’s showing up earlier than ever. At EyeCheck Calgary, we do more than update prescriptions; we help slow myopia progression using evidence-based methods like atropine eye drops, MiSight contact lenses, and MiyoSmart glasses. Whether you’re in Fairview, Ogden, or Willow Park, our clinic provides comprehensive exams and treatment plans tailored to your child’s needs. These services are available through direct billing, and many families qualify for full coverage. If your child’s glasses keep getting stronger each year, contact EyeCheck Calgary today to explore real solutions that protect their vision long-term, not just today’s clarity.
For many parents, a child’s first eye exam is about getting them to see the board clearly. But at EyeCheck Calgary, we look beyond the prescription. Myopia isn’t just about blurry distance vision—it’s a progressive condition that can increase a child’s risk of eye disease later in life if left unmanaged.
If your child’s prescription increases every year, that’s a red flag. Our goal is to help slow that progression using proven strategies, not just stronger lenses. We treat myopia like the medical condition it is, not just a glasses problem.
Through our full-scope exams, we track eye growth and identify whether your child is a candidate for myopia control options like low-dose atropine drops, MiSight soft contact lenses, or MiyoSmart spectacle lenses. And we don’t rush families through these conversations, we take the time to explain your options and what’s involved in each approach.
Whether you’re from Acadia, Lake Bonavista, or Southwood, our clinic gives your child access to myopia control options that many standard clinics don’t even offer.
At EyeCheck Calgary, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each child’s eyes are different—and so are their treatment plans. Here’s how we help with Myopia:
We assess eye health, vision needs, and signs of progression through detailed imaging and prescription history.
A nightly eye drop that helps slow the elongation of the eyeball—often used in early or rapidly progressing cases.
FDA-approved soft contacts designed specifically for myopia control. These are best suited for children aged 8+ with stable hygiene habits.
Spectacle lenses that help reduce myopia progression while offering the comfort of standard glasses—ideal for younger kids or those not ready for contacts.
We track prescription changes and eye growth over time, adjusting the treatment plan as needed. Progression is measured in millimetres—not just diopters.
We provide honest, jargon-free explanations of your child’s condition and how each option works, so you can feel confident in your choices.
And unlike some clinics, we don’t charge extra for unnecessary tests or push families into solutions that don’t fit. Whether you’re in Oakridge, Ranchlands, or Crestview, we’ll guide you through the entire process without pressure.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, means your child sees well up close but struggles with distance vision. It often gets worse over time.
If their prescription increases yearly or they were diagnosed under age 10, they may benefit from myopia control strategies.
