Myopia Management

What is Myopia?

Myopia, commonly known as "nearsightedness", is a refractive error in the eye where distant objects appear blurry, while close-up objects can be seen clearly.
This occurs when the eye is too long relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens, or when the cornea itself is too curved. As a result, light entering the eye is focused in front of the retina rather than directly on it.
Myopia affects millions of children and adults, worldwide and affects up to 40% of people by age 17.
Myopia is a common condition that typically develops in childhood and can worsen over time.
It is often corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, lifestyle changes, low dose prescription eye drops, or in some cases, refractive surgery

Every child's vision needs are different and require different methods of therapy. Using the latest, evidence-based treatments, some of which include orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses, multifocal contact lenses, and atropine eye drops, we will evaluate and assess which treatment plan will aid best in correcting your child's myopia. These safe and effective therapies are designed to not only correct your child's vision, but also reduce the long-term risks associated with high myopia such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
