Myopia Management

Everything You Need To Know About Myopia Management

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent condition affecting about 40% of the US population. Globally, the number of patients with myopia is projected to reach nearly 5 billion by 2050. This rapid increase is attributed to increased screen time, decreased outdoor activity, and genetic predisposition.

Children with myopia often struggle in school, sports, and social settings due to blurred vision.

Why Does Myopia Happen?

Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long, or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina rather than directly on it. As a result, distant objects appear blurry while close objects remain clear. If left untreated, myopia can lead to more severe complications, such as an increased risk of retinal detachment, cataracts, and glaucoma.

Myopia cannot be reversed, but myopia management can slow its progression and reduce the risk of future eye health complications.

How Does Myopia Management Help?

This treatment aims to slow the progression of nearsightedness through specialized treatments, including:

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Special overnight lenses reshape the cornea for clear daytime vision and slow myopia progression.
Multifocal Contact Lenses: Specially designed soft lenses provide clear vision and reduce the rate of myopia progression.
Atropine Eye Drops: Low-dose atropine has been clinically proven to slow myopia progression in children.
