Myopia Management at Better Eyes

Myopia (nearsightedness) rates in children have skyrocketed over the past several decades, and the condition can continue to worsen as your child’s eyes grow. Better Eyes Valparaiso offers non-surgical myopia management solutions designed to slow or stop this progression.
Through treatments like Ortho-K lenses (also known as Braces for Your Eyes), atropine therapy, and dual-focus contact lenses, Dr. Chander can help your child maintain clear vision and prevent further deterioration of their eyesight. Here’s a breakdown of your options:
Ortho-K Lenses: Special contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea, offering clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts.
Atropine Therapy: Non-invasive eye drops used at bedtime to slow the progression of myopia.
Dual-Focus Lenses: Daytime contact lenses designed to help slow myopia progression by focusing on the eye’s peripheral vision.
Dry Eye Treatment at Better Eyes
If you’re suffering from dry, irritated eyes, there’s a comprehensive range of treatments to restore comfort and improve your eye health at Better Eyes. We specialize in advanced therapies like Low-Level Light Therapy and Tear Savers, as well as personalized treatment plans to address your specific symptoms. Whether you experience occasional dryness or chronic discomfort, these solutions can improve your quality of life:
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT): A non-invasive treatment that uses light to stimulate the meibomian glands, improving tear quality and reducing dryness.
Tear Savers: Small plugs inserted into the tear ducts that help retain natural moisture on the eye’s surface, providing lasting relief.

“I'm beyond impressed.” “I feel confident that I'm in excellent hands.”
I’m beyond impressed. I’ve been wearing glasses/contacts since I was in 3rd grade. Now 29. Dr Chander told me about corrective lenses that I wear ONLY at night giving me 20/20 vision all day long. I didn’t know they even existed and they’ve changed my life. Going on 2 months I don’t have to worry about irritating contacts during the day or the hassle of having to wear glasses every day!! Highly recommend. The younger you are when you start, the better. As they are designed to prevent your vision from worsening. Clinic is located right by Franklin House!
