Giving your child the gifts of healthy eyes and clear vision helps them thrive as they develop and learn from the world around them. Unfortunately, common eye conditions such as myopia (nearsightedness) can often make it more difficult for your child to see properly in school and participate successfully in extracurricular activities. Along with this, myopia has been shown to significantly increase a child’s risk of developing eye diseases such as glaucoma later in life.

Dr. Hannah Canuto specializes in pediatric eye care and has years of experience detecting and treating eye and vision problems that are common among children. During your child’s yearly eye exam, Dr. Canuto will check for signs of myopia and other conditions, and will determine how to best address them in order to preserve your child’s long-term vision and eye health.

If your child has myopia, Dr. Canuto may recommend they start on myopia management to keep their myopia from getting worse. This not only preserves their vision in the short-term, but also lowers their chances of losing their vision to eye disease many years down the road.
