Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common in children. More importantly, it is often progressive, meaning it worsens over time.
Myopia management focuses on slowing this progression to protect long-term eye health.
At EYE Invision in Orlando, we provide advanced myopia management options for children.
Why Myopia Matters
Higher levels of myopia increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including:
-
Retinal detachment
-
Myopic maculopathy
-
Glaucoma
What Is Myopia Management?
Myopia management includes treatments designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness.
These may include:
-
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
-
Specialty contact lenses
-
Lifestyle changes
What Is Ortho-K?
Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea.
This allows children to:
-
See clearly during the day
-
Reduce dependence on glasses
-
Slow myopia progression
When Should Treatment Start?
Early treatment is key.
Children who show signs of progressing myopia should be evaluated as soon as possible.
