Myopia, often called nearsightedness, is a common condition that causes distant objects to appear blurry. Research indicates that the prevalence of myopia is increasing, particularly among children, making it a significant global health concern.
Early detection and intervention play a vital role in managing myopia. Timely eye examinations facilitate the diagnosis of myopia in its initial stages, enabling prompt and effective treatment. Early detection can prevent myopia progression, reducing the risk of associated complications, such as retinal detachment and glaucoma.
Myopia control is a non-surgical approach that can slow the condition's progression in children. Normandy Optical provides comprehensive eye care services, employing effective techniques and technologies. We are passionate about preserving and enhancing vision and are committed to helping children lead lives unhindered by visual impairment.
Non-Surgical Treatment Options for Myopia Control Normandy Optical offers various non-surgical treatments to slow myopia progression and improve eye health.
Multifocal Contact Lenses Multifocal contact lenses offer another valuable tool for myopia control. Soft, multifocal contact lenses, such as MiSight or VTI Multifocal, adjust the overall focus of the eyes, helping to slow the progression of myopia. A recent clinical trial demonstrated that multifocal contact lenses can lead to around a 70% reduction in myopia progression. Our experienced team at Normandy Optical can guide you through fitting and using these lenses.
OrthoK (Orthokeratology) Orthokeratology, often called OrthoK, involves wearing specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses during sleep. These lenses gently reshape the cornea, correcting myopia and eliminating the need for glasses or contacts daily. It's a safe, reversible, and effective method of myopia control.
Multifocal Eyeglasses Multifocal eyeglasses are an effective solution for myopia control. These glasses have multiple lens powers, which help correct nearsightedness and farsightedness. Depending on the severity of the myopia, they may only be needed during certain activities, such as watching TV.
Atropine Eye Drops Atropine eye drops are one of the most widely recognized treatments for controlling myopia. Regular, low doses of these eye drops can slow myopia progression in children by approximately 50%.
Benefits and Considerations When it comes to myopia control, there are many benefits. Improved visual acuity is one of the most apparent advantages—children can better engage in academic and recreational activities without struggling with blurry vision. Also, effective myopia control can potentially reduce the risk of associated eye conditions in the long term, including retinal detachment and glaucoma—both severe conditions that could lead to vision loss.
It's vital to remember that eye care is highly individualized. What works for one person is not the best solution for another; a professional consultation is crucial. Normandy Optical's team of knowledgeable and caring professionals will help determine the most effective myopia control strategies to control myopia and enhance the overall quality of life.
