Pediatric Eye Exams & Myopia Control in Honolulu
Children’s eyes are constantly growing and changing—and healthy vision is essential for learning, school success, and everyday activities. At Simply Eyes Hawaii, we provide thorough pediatric eye exams to check for common vision problems early. We also offer myopia control treatments to help slow the progression of nearsightedness in children.
Why Pediatric Eye Exams Matter
Good vision plays a key role in how children learn, play, and interact with the world. Many kids don’t realize they have blurry vision, and parents may not notice until school or sports reveal a problem.
Regular pediatric eye exams can detect:
- Nearsightedness (myopia)
- Farsightedness (hyperopia)
- Astigmatism
- Eye coordination or focusing issues
- Early signs of eye disease
Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Exam
Schedule an eye exam if your child:
- Has one eye that appears to drift in or out
- Squints or tilts their head when looking at objects
- Sits very close to the TV or holds books too close
- Complains of frequent headaches or eye strain
- Struggles with reading or school performance
Myopia Control in Honolulu
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming more common in children—often due to increased screen time and less outdoor play. Without treatment, myopia can worsen as your child grows, leading to thicker glasses and higher risks of eye disease later in life.
At Simply Eyes Hawaii, we offer several myopia control options to help slow its progression:
- Specialty contact lenses
- Multifocal contact lenses
- Specialty eyeglass lenses
- Atropine eye drops (when appropriate)
- Lifestyle guidance (screen time habits, outdoor play recommendations)
