Slowing myopia, one child at a time: The Myopia Clinic shows families there’s a better way to manage childhood myopia.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NORTH YORK, ON [Februrary 19, 2026] – As myopia cases rise across Canada, The Myopia Clinic is stepping up. Dr. David Ng has built a space that does more than just treat kids-it’s a learning hub for the local eye care community. It’s a win-win for North York: families get specialized care, and local optometrists get a place to hone their craft.

A Response to a Growing Public Health Concern

Early onset can lead to high myopia in adulthood, increasing the risk of glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration. Standard glasses correct vision but do not address changes in the structure of the eye. The Myopia Clinic provides treatments including orthokeratology, MiSight lenses, MiyoSmart spectacles, and low-dose atropine that are tailored to each child’s individual needs.

“Parents often come to us thinking that stronger glasses every year is simply how it goes,” says Dr. Ng. “Our job is to show them there is another path and to make that path accessible.”

Protecting Young Eyes from Long-Term Risks

Watching a child’s vision get worse every year is a massive stressor for families. Usually, the answer is just a stronger set of lenses, but The Myopia Clinic takes a more proactive route. They use modern tech to actually slow down the shift in vision. It’s a gamechanger for kids across the country who are tired of their glasses getting in the way of sports and everyday fun.

Supporting the Optometry Community

The Myopia Clinic wants to see every local optometrist thrive in this field. Instead of keeping his expertise to himself, Dr. Ng is actively training his peers and co-managing patients when cases get complicated.

“We cannot stop this epidemic alone,” says Dr. Ng. “The goal is to support every optometrist who wants to offer myopia control in their own practice. For families, that means care is closer to home. For the profession, it raises the standard across the board.”

Breaking Down Barriers to Access

While standard frames are straightforward, advanced Myopia treatment options like Ortho-K or MiSight lenses often come with higher price tags that can catch parents off guard. The Myopia Clinic is working closely with its industry partners to close this gap. Their goal is to simplify the process so that a child’s vision doesn’t get left behind just because the healthcare system is a headache to navigate.

Research That Informs Tomorrow’s Protocols

The team at The Myopia Clinic takes their role in the Canadian eye care community seriously, staying active in the research that sets new treatment standards. Dr. Ng ensures his patients are always first in line for new, evidence-based options. It’s about providing peace of mind through a deep, personal commitment to the latest medical science.
