Understanding Myopia
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry. It typically starts during childhood and may worsen over time if left unmanaged.
What is Myopia Control?
Myopia refers to various treatments and interventions aims at slowing down the progression of nearsightedness or myopia.It involves pro active measures that can help prevent or reduce the severity of myopia,escpecially in children.
Why is Myopia Control Important?

By slowing down the progression of myopia, we aim to reduce the risk of high myopia and associated eye complications in the future. Additionally, effective Myopia Control can enhance your child’s quality of life by reducing their dependence on glasses or contact lenses & improving their visual comfort. Investing in Myopia Control now can lead to healthier vision & potential cost savings in the long run.

Myopia control involves
1) Atropine drops
2) 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.
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.
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)
Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)is a common eye surgery that can correct myopia, or nearsightedness:
How it works: A flap is created in the cornea, and an excimer laser reshapes the cornea. The flap is then put back in place.
Benefits: LASIK can correct a wide range of myopia, and it can be repeated to improve vision further. It’s associated with less pain and a faster recovery than other surgeries
