The Importance of Myopia Management

Myopia is the medical term for nearsightedness—a refractive error which makes reading or up-close work easy, while distant objects appear blurry.

It’s caused when the eyeball grows too long or the cornea becomes too steep, hindering the lens’ ability to focus light onto the retina correctly. Traditional contact lenses or eyeglasses do an excellent job of focusing light properly onto the retina, but they do not stop the elongation of the eyeball, and patients may require contact lenses of increasingly powerful prescriptions.

Myopia control aims to halt this growth entirely.

Methods of Myopia Control

If myopia is left untreated, your child can be at an increased risk of developing sight-threatening conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachments. The good news is there are ways to treat your child’s blurred vision while simultaneously slowing the progression of myopia.

Ortho-K Lenses

Orthokeratology, known as ortho-k for short, is a specialty contact lens designed to reshape the cornea. These strong and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses are made to be worn overnight. They apply a gentle, but constant, pressure on the cornea, forcing the cornea to reshape itself slightly.

For the duration of the next day, the reshaped cornea works as if there is no myopia at all. This method has also been shown to substantially reduce the growth rate of the eye.

Soft Multifocal Lenses

Soft multifocal contact lenses correct myopia in children while slowing the growth of the eye. These lenses are designed like a bullseye with alternating treatment zones. One zone corrects the refractive error to provide your child with clear vision and the other zone brings peripheral light rays into focus in front of the retina, signaling the eye to slow its growth.

Clear Vision for a Bright Future

By diagnosing a child with myopia in its early stages, we can intervene with management methods to limit its severity. It’s imperative to bring your child in for a pediatric eye exam every 12 months to monitor their eye health. Here, we can perform conclusive tests and take immediate action to improve their vision when needed.
