What Is Myopia Control?
Improving Your Child's Future Sight — Today.
Why It's Important
High myopia increases the risk of severe conditions like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts.
Reduces the need for increasingly thicker glasses or stronger contact lens prescriptions over time.
Treatment Methods
Specialty Eyeglasses: Glasses with designs like DIMS (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments) that control peripheral focus.
Specialty Contact Lenses: Daily disposables or multifocal soft lenses designed to slow progression.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Custom rigid lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea for clear daytime vision, also controlling myopia.
Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops: Nightly drops that relax the eye’s focusing muscle, significantly slowing myopia.
Lifestyle & Environmental Factors
Increased Outdoor Time: Spending at least 1-2 hours outside daily is crucial.
Reduced Near Work: Taking breaks (20-20-20 rule) and maintaining a proper distance from screens.
When to Start
Early detection through regular eye exams is key, as myopia often develops without obvious symptoms in children. We can begin therapy as young as 4 years old.
