Preventing Nearsightedness in kids program is a self paced course for parents who are interested in taking back control of their child’s vision.

Become an advocate in your child’s vision journey.

YOUR CHILD’S NEARSIGHTEDNESS (AKA MYOPIA) DOES NOT HAVE TO WORSEN EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Unlike when we were young, there are actually non-surgical treatment options and lifestyle modifications you can start TODAY to slow down your child’s glasses prescription.

Here you’ll find well-researched and unbiased advice for how you can help your child’s vision at home, and therapies to discuss with your child’s eye doctor . With this course, you’ll feel confident that you are making the best decisions for your child to preserve their eyesight.

Why you should be concerned about your child’s myopia:

CHILDREN WITH MYOPIA ARE AT GREATER RISK FOR SIGHT-THREATENING DISEASES LATER IN LIFE.

A CHILD WITH HIGH NEARSIGHTEDNESS (HIGH MYOPIA) IS 41X MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP MYOPIC MACULAR DEGENERATION (YES THE SAME THING YOUR GRANDPARENTS HAVE).

CATARACTS ARE 9X MORE LIKELY IN INDIVIDUALS WITH
MEDIUM NEARSIGHTEDNESS.

MEDIUM HIGH MYOPES ARE ALSO 21X MORE LIKELY TO DEVELOP RETINAL DETACHMENTS AND VERY HIGH MYOPES ARE 44X AS LIKELY

THESE ARE ALL CONDITIONS WHICH CAUSE VISION LOSS AND BLINDNESS.

Good eyesight should be the birthright of every child.

As a parent, you want the very best for your child and their future. With the lifestyle and treatment options you’ll learn about in this course, you’ll have the knowledge to do your part.

Does this sound like you?

YOU ARE UNSURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S RAPIDLY CHANGING GLASSES PRESCRIPTION

YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO DECIDE WHICH NEARSIGHTEDNESS TREATMENT OPTION IS BEST FOR YOUR CHILD.

YOU FEEL GUILTY THAT YOUR CHILD MIGHT END UP JUST AS NEARSIGHTED AS YOU ARE

YOU FEEL CONFUSED AT ALL THE CONFLICTING STUDIES, DATA AND OPINION OUT THERE ON MYOPIA PREVENTION.

YOU WANT TO BE PREPARED. YOUR CHILD ISN’T NEARSIGHTED YET BUT YOU WANT TO LEARN EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO MAXIMIZE THEIR VISION

HI, I’M DR, RUPA

I am one of a handful of pediatric ophthalmologists in the country who practices myopia management.

I’ve treated hundreds of children in my practice over the past decade, developing customizable plans for families to achieve the best vision possible.

I also teach my myopia management framework to ophthalmologists and optometrists at national conferences.

But I wanted to reach more children (and their parents) across the country so that they would also know the benefits of myopia management.

So I created this program to give you the education you need to be an advocate your child.

What’s Holding You Back?

YOU MAY BE WORRIED THAT THERE ISN’T ENOUGH DATA TO SUPPORT MYOPIA MANAGEMENT. OR THAT YOUR CHILD’S VISION HAS TO BE “REALLY BAD” TO START THESE TREATMENTS AND TREATMENTS. OR THAT ONCE YOU STOP THESE TREATMENTS THAT YOUR CHILD’S NEARSIGHTEDNESS WILL GET EVEN WORSE THAN WHAT IT WAS.

Top 3 Misconceptions About Myopia Management

This is my why.

AS AN EYE DOCTOR, I’VE TREATED HUNDREDS OF KIDS WITH MYOPIA MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS.

But, I’m also a mom.

And when I saw that my kids were starting to take after my husband’s nearsighted family, I became even more personally invested and passionate about myopia management. And, not just for myself. I want to educate all parents about their options. So that you can take back control of your child’s vision

All children benefit when their parents are partners in their health care journey and you don’t need to be a health care provider to do so.

Learn how your child can be best served by understanding the modifiable lifestyle risk factors, potential treatment options and research behind it all so you can be your child’s best advocate.

ABOUT DR. RUPA WONG

Take Back Control of Your Child’s Vision

As an Ivy League trained physician who is fellowship trained in pediatric ophthalmology, I have seen firsthand the devastating vision and eye health consequences of nearsightedness.

This is why I am adamant about instituting myopia management treatments and strategies with my own 3 children.

I know that many eye doctors are not offering or even discussing myopia management treatments with their patients and that’s doing you a disservice.

I want every parent to feel knowledgeable and comfortable about making the most informed choices for their children, understanding the lifestyle modifications and treatment options available.
