Ways to Manage Myopia in Children

Why is myopia management vital? It's about ensuring that your child's vision remains vibrant and unburdened by nearsightedness as they develop and lessening the risk of eye diseases later in life. Controlling myopia also improves their daily quality of life and contributes to academic success.

At North Suburban Vision Consultants, your child's visual well-being is one of our top priorities. We're committed to offering a range of effective myopia management treatments tailored to your child's unique needs.

Glasses and Contact Lenses for Clear Vision

Eyeglasses and contact lenses are common and effective treatments for myopia management. These options provide your child with clear and crisp vision, addressing nearsightedness and allowing them to see the world clearly.

Our team at North Suburban Vision Consultants offers a wide range of fashionable eyeglasses and comfortable contact lenses to cater to your child's specific needs. We understand that comfort and style are equally important when it comes to eyewear, and our experts are here to ensure your child receives the best options to fit their unique lifestyle and preferences.

Controlling Myopia with Atropine Eye Drops

Atropine eye drops are an effective treatment option for managing myopia in children. These specialized drops slow down the progression of nearsightedness, serving as a protective shield for your child's precious vision. Our experienced team will guide you through the usage and benefits of these drops as part of our comprehensive myopia management approach.

Vision Correction with Orthokeratology

Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, represents a modern and innovative myopia management treatment. This non-surgical approach involves custom-designed, gas-permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea. These specialized lenses work their magic overnight, gently correcting your child's vision, and are removed in the morning for clear vision during the day.

The various benefits of ortho-k make it an appealing choice for many parents.

  • Daytime Freedom from Glasses or Contacts

    Ortho-k affords your child the freedom to see clearly throughout the day without needing eyeglasses or contact lenses.

  • Slows Myopia Progression

    Research has shown that ortho-k can help curb the development of nearsightedness, potentially reducing the risk of more severe vision problems in the future.

  • Convenient and Safe

    Ortho-k lenses are a safe and versatile option for managing myopia in children of various ages. They are easy to use and maintain, providing parents peace of mind.

  • Improved Self Confidence

    Ortho-k lenses can significantly boost your child's self-confidence with clear vision without visible vision correction.

Dr. Eiden is great! I am an optometrist from SW Florida. I was in the Chicago area recently and dec... ided to reach out to Dr. Eiden to see if I could stop by for a couple hours to observe and ask him a few questions. He is one of the best in the country at treating patients with keratoconus and other irregular corneal conditions with specialty contact lenses. I have heard him lecture on this topic at national optometry conferences in the past. His clinical knowledge is excellent. He is great at general optometry and at treating various eye disease such as glaucoma. He is a kind person who spent a few hours helping me and he has optometry school 4th year students rotate through his office as part of their externship training. He has the latest technology (more than I've seen in any office). So, you will receive the best eye care possible when you see Dr. Eiden.

There aren’t many things more important than our sight. I know because I was legally blind for ma... ny years. During those years NSVC corrected my vision and allowed me to go about my life with good vision in spite of the limitations of my damaged eyes. When it became more difficult to maintain my vision, Dr. Eiden suggested multiple surgeries to provide a more permanent solution to my problem. He put me in touch with a wonderful surgeon and the results of the surgery and his continuing care were nothing short of miraculous. Not only does this office provide the most professional care possible (I know - I’ve “seen” a lot of eye doctors), they are such nice people. They provide eye care for my wife, grown children and, now, my grandchildren. I’m so grateful for what they do for us. Don’t waste your time anywhere else.

I went to the office today for my annual check up. They have GREAT a great safe system set up. The... y took my temperature prior to letting me in the door. I had to call the office and a tech came to get me alone. We walked directly into the testing room. The Tech assured me the room was cleaned as well as all of the test machines I was to use. He maintained social distancing and everyone wore masks. I was walked into a room marked CLEANED. At the point the other tech went through the sight test and had distance while doing so. Then Dr. Eiden Came in with full scrubs on with his mask to perform the next set of test. They installed a plastic shield in between him and the test machine and me. Always maintaining as much distance as possible. I felt EXTREMELY Safe the entire time. Even the Payment/check out had the clerk come to the Door as I sat in the chair 8 feet away. I gave her my credit card number verbally, she wrote up the receipt and laid it on the chair and said she will mail me the receipt from the credit card. Great set up and organized.

Dr. Press is someone I have complete confidence in. He takes time to talk to you and does not rush y... ou. I have never had such a complete workup on my eyes with anyone. The girls in the Northwest Hwy office are wonderful.

I had my first visit and I have to say I was very impressed. Office entryway and interior was very ... clean and nicely designed. Dr. Milana Matz and her assistant along with the entire staff were very professional. Dr. Matz explained each and every procedure. I was also impressed with the equipment as everything appeared to be the latest and best providing patients with great examinations and results. Thank you Dr. Matz. I found a new eye doctor for my family.

Anna (staff) was very knowledgeable and explained everything with great detail. Dr. Eiden was very p... ro-active and explained everything to me in great detail and did not try to sell me something I did not need. He was very honest and upfront about what might help my condition and what he thought was not going to help. He was very straightforward and I appreciated that. Would highly recommend.

Thorough and very high tech, this optometric/ophthalmology practice is a great place on the North Sh... ore for eye exams and lens fittings. A bit more pricey than most offices, the technology and expertise is worth the extra cost.
