Our optometrists provide the latest technologies to monitor your child’s myopia progression. Consult your optometrist now to learn about the advanced myopia control solutions available today.
Process
01
Along with the standard tests conducted during the advanced eye exam, the optometric assistant will perform a test to precisely measure your child’s eye length. This measurement will help the optometrist accurately track the progression of myopia.
02
During the initial consultation, your optometrist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your child’s eye health to determine the refractive correction needed. Then we’ll show you a simulation of the potential progression of myopia based on current scientific models.
03
Our vision professionals will take the time to advise you and explain the different options for myopia control, including therapeutic glasses (Miyosmart), contact lenses, multifocal lenses and pharmacological treatments such as atropine. We’ll guide you toward the treatment plan that’s best for your child’s needs.
Technologies
In optometry, greater precision leads to better management. To ensure the most effective interventions, our clinic uses a state-of-the-art device that provides the most accurate measurement of eye elongation (axial eye length) possible. This tool—the most reliable tool on the market for monitoring the progression of myopia—enables your optometrist to recommend the optimal treatments for myopia control for your child.
People tend to have many questions about myopia control. Our expert team has answered some of the most frequently asked questions in order to provide you with accurate information about the best approaches in this constantly evolving field.
Some signs are rather obvious: for instance, frequent blinking or squinting, and needing to get closer to objects to see them clearly. Other signs are more subtle: for instance, headaches, neck pain and declining academic performance. Even if you don’t suspect your child has vision problems, it is recommended that they be given vision exams starting at age three, to ensure an early start to myopia control if necessary.
Myopia is a visual disorder that is becoming increasingly common. It manifests as blurry vision when looking at objects at a distance (in other words, nearsightedness). It is caused by excessive elongation of the eyeball (axial eye length) and tends to be hereditary. Myopia typically appears during childhood and usually worsens over time. It can sometimes lead to more serious complications, such as glaucoma, retinal detachment and myopic macular degeneration.
Yes. While genetics play a significant role in the development of myopia in children, today’s lifestyle factors are also contributing to a rise in cases. Most experts agree that screen time plays a crucial role in this increase. Young children’s prolonged exposure to screens while their eye structures are still developing is increasingly recognized as a factor in the rapid increase in early myopia cases. Fewer outdoor activities and insufficient exposure to natural light are also seen as contributing factors. Natural light may aid in myopia control.
