Our personalized approach to myopia management focuses on early detection, tailored treatments, and ongoing support to help slow down the progression of nearsightedness in young patients, protecting their vision and overall eye health.
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent vision problem affecting a growing number of people worldwide.
As myopia progresses, the length of the eye increases which in turn puts the eyes at risk for developing health problems such as myopic macular degeneration and retinal detachments. By slowing down the progression of myopia we are able to keep health risks to a minimum and reduce the burden of nearsightedness.
Our personalized approach to myopia management includes a thorough evaluation of the patient’s eyes and vision, taking into account factors such as age, family history, and lifestyle.
Once we have a complete understanding of the patient’s condition, we can tailor an appropriate treatment plan. This may include soft contact lenses, special contacts to sleep in and/or eyedrops, among other things.
MiSight contact lenses are an FDA approved daily contact lens for children ages 8-12 to help slow down the progression of myopia. They are inserted and removed just as any other soft contact lens is but the design of the lens is made to slow down the growth of the eye.
Also known as Ortho-k, these are specially designed gas permeable lenses that you sleep in which over time will reshape the eye. The result of which is to give you clear vision during waking hours without glasses or contacts.
This eyedrop is used to dilate the eye, but at low doses it minimally causes dilation and has been shown to slow down growth of the eye.
At Klear Sight Eyecare Center, we believe in providing ongoing support and monitoring to ensure the effectiveness of our myopia management treatments.
We schedule regular follow-up appointments to track the progression of myopia and adjust treatment plans as needed.
Our dedicated team of eye care professionals is committed to helping our patients achieve and maintain clear vision and overall eye health.
