Childhood Myopia 
Myopia is a vision disorder causing blurry distant vision. This problem is now an epidemic. Myopia can become severe causing eye diseases and vision loss. Preventing ongoing changes in childhood is the goal. All it takes is an eye exam to discover what option is best for your child.

Myopia Management (Control)

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
​​This FDA cleared therapy helps prevent worsening vision. Starting at 7 years old,  Ortho-K contact lenses are worn during sleep.  The lenses are removed in the morning and vision is clear all day without glasses.
Kurtin Vision designs all types of Ortho-K lenses depending on your eye shape.
 The doctors here are Ortho-K specialists serving  communities around Dallas, Plano and Frisco, Texas . In 2002, Dr. Kurtin was certified as required by the FDA to prescribe Ortho-K types.

Paragon Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) .
Designed using Paragon HDS gas permeable materials - a proven success for patients with astigmatism.
Kurtin Vision Specialists is a Paragon CRT certified location - as required by the FDA.
