Understanding Myopia

Myopia is a refractive error that makes distant objects appear blurry while preserving clear vision for nearby objects. It occurs when the eye grows too long from front to back or when the cornea develops excessive curvature. The eye condition causes light to focus before it reaches the retina, resulting in a diminished ability to see objects at a distance.

Myopia often develops during childhood and may continue to progress through adolescence. Myopia progression without management increases the risk of developing future eye health problems. While myopia cannot be permanently cured, proper management can slow progression and improve quality of life.

How Myopia Affects Vision and Daily Life?

Myopia can make everyday activities like driving, classroom learning, work, and sports more difficult. Patients experience eye strain, headaches, and difficulty focusing, especially when they need to switch between looking at close and distant objects.

As prescriptions increase, the need for vision correction grows, as patients must use glasses or contact lenses to meet their vision needs. Children and teenagers who suffer from untreated myopia experience academic difficulties and visual discomfort. This is why regular eye exams and early treatment are so important.

Myopia in Children and Adolescents

Myopia frequently begins during childhood, with studies indicating that nearly one in four children in the United States is affected. The ongoing development of the eye during childhood and adolescence can worsen myopia if it is not properly managed.

Children with myopia experience difficulties with distance vision, as they cannot see classroom boards, road signs, and other distant objects. The students display symptoms that include squinting and sitting very close to screens or books, as well as reporting headaches and eye fatigue. The increase in screen time and the decrease in outdoor activities and extended periods of near work lead to a higher incidence of myopia.

Optometrists use comprehensive eye exams to identify myopia at an early stage because these exams allow them to prescribe myopia control methods that can slow progression while maintaining visual health.

Comprehensive Myopia Evaluation at Eyes Now

The diagnostic process at Eyes Now begins with an eye test that assesses refractive errors, eye growth patterns, and all aspects of ocular health. Our optometrists use advanced diagnostic technology to accurately measure vision and detect subtle changes that may indicate the progression of myopia.

The exam requires us to evaluate how lifestyle elements, including screen time, school activities, and family history, impact the patient. The entire process allows us to build customized management plans that match each patient's visual demands and risk factors.

Myopia Control Options at Eyes Now

Myopia control methods aim to slow the progression of myopia, while glasses and contact lenses help correct poor eyesight. Eyes Now offers multiple myopia management solutions tailored to the patient's age, prescription strength, and daily activities.

Atropine Eye Drops

Prescribers can use low-dose atropine eye drops to treat myopia progression in young patients. The eye drops work by controlling eye growth, thereby reducing myopia progression. The optometrist develops treatment plans that require continuous observation to verify their safety and effectiveness.

Multifocal Contact Lenses

Multifocal contact lenses deliver multiple distance-vision solutions while also helping control myopia progression. These lenses reduce eye strain and may help slow the elongation of the eye that typically accompanies myopia development. Responsible contact lens use makes these lenses suitable for children and teenagers who need to wear contact lenses.

Progressive Multifocal Glasses

Progressive multifocal lenses for glasses provide distance and near vision correction through a single lens design. The lenses reduce visual strain during nearby tasks, which benefits myopia management for users who read or work on digital devices for long periods.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

The clinic offers Orthokeratology treatment, also known as Ortho-K, as a specialized method to control myopia. The process requires patients to wear their custom contact lenses at night to achieve gradual corneal reshaping. The system enables patients to maintain daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses. The treatment may help prevent the future progression of myopia in children and teenagers.
