The best management intervention is different for everyone, including children who are not viable candidates for refractive surgery. Depending on different factors, contacts, eye drops, and corneal reshaping interventions such as ortho-k therapy (or a combination) may be viable options. For young children, parents will be responsible for applying low dose eye drop therapy and managing any contacts that might be part of a treatment regimen. There is also the risk of infections with contacts that parents will need to consider. Contact your child’s optometrist right away if you notice any signs that suggest there might be an infection.
