Why Myopia Control Matters
Nearsightedness (myopia) is becoming more common worldwide, and higher levels of myopia
are linked to a greater lifetime risk of retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy, glaucoma,
and early cataracts. Slowing myopia in childhood is one of the best investments families
can make in long-term eye health.
For more than three decades, Dr. Aller has focused his clinical practice and research on
how to slow or stop myopia progression, helping shape many of the modern strategies used
around the world today.
Customized Myopia Control Plans
Every child’s eyes are unique. Dr. Aller designs individual treatment plans that may
include orthokeratology (Ortho-K), soft multifocal contact lenses, advanced myopia-control
spectacle lenses, and lifestyle guidance to help protect growing eyes.
Specialty Contact Lenses & Vision Care
In addition to pediatric myopia management, Dr. Aller provides comprehensive optometric
care, including specialty contact lens fitting for complex prescriptions and presbyopia.
