Pediatric Myopia Specialists · Alkapuri
Give your child's eyes
room to see far, for life.
Myopia Control Clinic is Vadodara's dedicated centre for slowing childhood myopia — combining orthokeratology, vision therapy and precision diagnostics under one roof, led by pediatric ophthalmologist Dr. Jitendra Jethani.
Why myopia control matters
Myopia isn't just a number
on a prescription — it's a trajectory.
Left unmanaged, childhood myopia tends to progress year after year, raising the lifetime risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic maculopathy. Myopia Control Clinic exists to intervene early and slow that trajectory, using evidence-based protocols tailored to each child's eyes.
Children in urban India are projected to be myopic by 2030

How we help
Precision care, built around young eyes.
Every child's myopia behaves differently. Our protocols combine diagnostics, optical correction and daily-life coaching for parents.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Axial length, corneal topography and cycloplegic refraction to map exactly how your child's eyes are changing.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Custom overnight lenses that gently reshape the cornea — clear daytime vision, no glasses, myopia control while they sleep.
Low-Dose Atropine Therapy
Clinically monitored pharmacological control for eligible children, calibrated and reviewed at every visit.
Vision Therapy
Structured exercises that build focusing stamina and binocular coordination for screen-heavy school days.
Lifestyle Counselling
Practical, personalised guidance on outdoor time, screen habits and near-work breaks that actually fit your family's routine.
Progress Tracking
Every visit is logged against your child's growth curve, so you always know whether the plan is working.
Led by
A career built entirely around children's eyes.
