How Myopia Management Protects Your Child's Eyes from Worsening Vision
Managing Myopia, Protecting Futures
"My child needs glasses again?" If this thought has crossed your mind, you're not alone. Myopia in children tends to worsen without proper management. But the right approach can slow progression and protect your child's vision for years to come.
Why Myopia Management Matters
Myopia management is more than just updating prescriptions. Without intervention, nearsightedness can progress, increasing the risk of eye complications like retinal detachment and glaucoma. Early management ensures better outcomes and long-term eye health.
The Problem: Why Does Myopia Progress?
Eye Elongation: As the eyeball grows longer, light focuses in front of the retina, causing blurred distance vision.
Screen Time & Near Work: Prolonged close-up activities without breaks accelerate myopia progression.
Genetics: Children with nearsighted parents are more likely to develop progressive myopia.
Lack of Intervention: Simply updating glasses without myopia control strategies doesn't slow progression.
Why It Matters: High myopia increases the risk of sight-threatening complications later in life.
The Solution: Myopia Management That Works
Customized Spectacles
Myopia control lenses gently refocus light to slow eyeball elongation while ensuring clear vision.
Soft Contact Lenses
Specialized daily lenses, like MiSight®, are clinically proven to reduce myopia progression in children.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Overnight lenses reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, offering clear daytime vision without glasses.
Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops
These safe, effective drops slow down eye growth, especially when paired with other myopia control methods.
Tip: Combining methods often yields the best results. Your child's unique needs guide the treatment plan.
What the Research Says
Studies show that children using myopia management solutions experience up to 60% slower myopia progression compared to standard lenses. The earlier the intervention, the better the long-term outcomes.
