Myopia control glasses
Myopia control glasses are eyeglasses that can help slow the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness:
How they work
Myopia control glasses redirect peripheral light to reduce stimulation and axial growth of the eyes. This signals the brain to slow the growth of the eyes, which is the main cause of progressive myopia.
Ortho-k lenses
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) is a contact lens treatment that can help control the progression of myopia (near-sightedness)
How it works
Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, which improves vision during the day. The lenses flatten the center of the cornea, which changes how light enters the eye and makes distant objects appear clearer.
Effectiveness
Ortho-K can slow the progression of myopia by about half compared to standard glasses or contact lenses. It’s most effective in children ages 6–9, but can also be used for teenagers and young adults.
Other benefits
Ortho-K can also correct hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism. It can be a good option for athletes who don’t want to wear glasses or contacts while playing sports, and for adults who need to see clearly without reading glasses.
Surgical Options
It primarily includes
- LASIK (Blade/Bladeless)
Trans PRK
Phakic IOL
