What is Myopia?
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects are seen clearly.
It often develops in school-aged children and can progress over time, requiring regular monitoring and management.
Myopia is caused by the elongation of the eyeball or the curvature of the cornea, which affects how light is focused on the retina.
Myopia Management Options
Prescription Glasses
Specially designed lenses can help manage myopia and provide clear vision, slowing its progression in children.
Contact Lenses
Certain types of contact lenses, such as orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses, can be worn overnight to temporarily correct myopia.
Atropine Eye Drops
Low-dose atropine eye drops have been shown to effectively slow down the progression of myopia in children when used consistently
