Neuro-Vision Associates Helps Children Get Better Vision For Life

Press release from Neuro-Vision Associates of North Texas:

July 28 2020

Plano, Texas —In 2020 306,714 children in Dallas, Texas currently suffer from myopia -- nearsighted, or blurry distance vision. That number is expected to grow to 389,526 by just 2030, and with societal changes and the impact of more screen time and less outdoor time due to COVID-19, the number might be even higher. In response to this fast-growing issue our children are facing, Neuro-Vision Associates of North Texas , located in Plano, Texas, announces a partnership with Treehouse EyesⓇ, the leader in myopia management and treatment to launch a unique treatment center within its office to specifically address myopia in young patients.

Myopia, is a condition that can lead to more severe, sight threatening diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts and retinal detachments. While eye doctors usually prescribe glasses or contact lenses for kids with myopia, they are only a temporary “fix” and do not fully treat the underlying condition. Neuro-Vision Associates of North Texas, an innovative eye-care center, will offer the Treehouse Vision SystemⓇ, a patent-pending protocol that offers a customized treatment plan for myopia to help give children better vision for life. Developed by a team of leading optometrists and ophthalmologists, the Treehouse Vision SystemⓇ is an integrated treatment that combines several of the most efficacious treatments to provide a single therapeutic system.

“The number of myopia cases in our young patients has been growing at an alarming rate, due to more screen time and less time playing outdoors,” said, Dr. Shidlofsky who leads the practice at Neuro-Vision Associates of North Texas. “with the most recent pandemic, children were forced indoors for more than just social time, they had to finish school through virtual learning, putting their eye health at greater risk for myopia development. We cannot urge enough to parents the importance of their child’s eye checkup this year and seeking treatment as needed.”
