Myopia is a vision condition where close objects appear clear, but distant ones are blurred. Nearsightedness is a common condition that arises when the shape of the eyeball is elongated, leading to the light rays focusing in front of the retina instead of directly on its surface. This results in blurred vision for distant objects. This condition can progress with age and significantly impact one's quality of life.
The Importance of Early Myopia Management
Early detection and management of myopia are vital to slow its progression and reduce the risk of associated complications such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. At Media Eye Care, we emphasize the importance of regular eye examinations, especially for children, as myopia often begins in childhood and can deteriorate with rapid growth.
Advanced Myopia Management Techniques
Our practice employs various advanced techniques to manage myopia, including:
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): A non-surgical procedure involving the overnight wear of specialized contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea, improving vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
- Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops: Research has shown that low-dose atropine eye drops can effectively slow the progression of myopia in children.
- Multifocal Contact Lenses and Eyeglasses: These lenses are designed to correct nearsightedness while also addressing the eye's focusing issues, which can slow the progression of myopia.
Customized Care Plans
At Media Eye Care, we understand that each patient's needs are unique. We develop personalized care plans based on comprehensive eye exams and detailed assessments of each patient's lifestyle, vision needs, and the severity of myopia.
Our goal is to correct nearsightedness, slow its progression, and maintain the best possible vision for life.
