How can I correct Myopia?

Description:

Myopia or nearsightedness is one of the most common eye conditions, with around 1.8 billion people affected worldwide. It is estimated that by the year 2060, there will be an increase of 26 per cent of preschoolers affected by this eye disorder. The condition often begins in childhood and can cause severe vision problems if left untreated. With the risk of myopia getting higher among children, it is important that you get familiar with how to correct the condition. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

How can I correct Myopia?
  • Myopia or nearsightedness is one of the most
    common eye conditions, with around 1.8 billion
    people affected worldwide. It is estimated that
    by the year 2060, there will be an increase of 26
    per cent of preschoolers affected by this eye
    disorder. The condition often begins in childhood
    and can cause severe vision problems if left
    untreated. With the risk of myopia getting higher
    among children, it is important that you get
    familiar with how to correct the condition. 
  • Read this blog to understand the right prognosis
    and treatment pathways to help people who
    struggle with myopia.

What is Myopia?
  • Myopia is a condition in which it becomes hard to
    see distant objects but easy to read a book up
    close. Myopia will cause children to experience
    blurry vision when trying to read or copy from a
    whiteboard at school or watch a movie at the
    theatre.
  • Even though there is no treatment to prevent or
    restore your childs vision from myopia but an
    expert eye doctor can suggest several treatments
    to slow down its progression or bring down the
    refractive error and assist with distance vision.

Is it possible to treat myopia without surgery?
  • Myopia can be corrected or slowed down by
    reducing refractive errors and moving the focus
    point of the eye back onto the retina using
    single-vision glasses or contact lenses. Children
    with myopia are recommended to spend more time
    outdoors and limit screen time and close work.
  • There should be an effective myopia management
    treatment plan in place to prevent the
    progression and worsening of the condition.
  • Dr Shalini Jains Samyak Eye Care Clinic which is
    the best eye hospital near me provide different
    treatments like corneal reshaping, ortho-K,
    multifocal soft lenses, and low-dose Atropine.

Eyeglasses
  • Eyeglasses are the most recommended option for
    correcting myopia in children. The eye specialist
    will prescribe wearing eyeglasses either daily or
    only when distance vision is needed depending on
    how worse the condition is. Some children need to
    wear eyeglasses constantly to see clearly while
    some others need them only when playing ball,
    watching a movie or viewing a whiteboard in the
    classroom. Eyeglasses with single-vision lenses
    are used to make distance vision clear, but
    progressive lenses are needed for myopia patients
    over 40 to see clearly both near and far.

Contact Lenses
  • Wearing the right type of contact lens depending
    on the myopia level and other refractive errors
    can help some patients to get distance vision
    sharper and wider.
  • A myopia patient will be able to focus better at
    a distance using single-vision contact lenses,
    but some multifocal lenses help focus distance
    vision on the retina and peripheral vision in
    front of it. Contact lenses require more care to
    keep clean.

Ortho-K Lenses
  • Another effective myopia management treatment is
    Ortho-K lenses which are rigid gas-permeable
    contact lenses. Ortho-K lenses can be custom
    fitted to correct the shape of the cornea
    overnight while sleeping. Patients can wear these
    lenses overnight and remove them in the morning
    upon awakening to enjoy clear vision on their own
    for the rest of the day. Dr Shalini Jains Samyak
    Eye Care Clinic provides the best myopia control
    in Ghaziabad using specially designed Ortho-K
    lenses to achieve the best results and ensure
    safe and comfortable wearing overnight. The eye
    specialist will provide Ortho-K lenses that fit
    perfectly to the unique eye shape and allow air
    to pass through.

Vision Therapy
  • Vision therapy which is an evidence-based program
    designed to train eye-brain coordination can also
    help prevent or slow down myopia progression. Dr
    Shalini Jain who is the best eye doctor in
    Ghaziabad has helped many patients improve myopia
    symptoms like poor focusing skills through the
    vision therapy process. Vision therapy
    strengthens the visual accommodation skill which
    allows the eyes to adjust the focus with the
    change in distance. Vision therapy strengthens
    the focusing muscles to treat blurry distant
    vision caused by accommodation spasms.
  • When left unmanaged, myopia can lead to severe
    vision problems such as cataracts, glaucoma, and
    macular degeneration. While a good eye care
    routine and a healthy diet help take care of your
    eyes, a comprehensive eye exam is important to
    decide which myopia management treatment is ideal
    for the patient. At Dr Shalini Jains Samyak Eye
    Care Clinic, the treatment regimen for the
    patient will be created on the basis of the
    current eye health status of the patient. The
    eyes grow rapidly at a young age, so taking
    children for regular eye exams helps prevent or
    slow down the progression of myopia.
