Correcting and Protecting Your Vision from Myopia
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is increasingly common in children, affecting their ability to learn, play sports, and interact socially. Over time, the condition will start to worsen, impacting their quality of life. Myopia management offers a proactive solution, not just correcting nearsightedness in the present but also aiming to reduce its progression for a better future.
Why Aren’t Glasses Enough for Nearsightedness?
While glasses are an effective immediate solution for nearsightedness, they only correct the symptom, not the underlying cause. Relying solely on glasses can lead to a need for stronger prescriptions over time and increases the risk of serious eye diseases later in life. Myopia management and vision therapy seeks to address these issues head-on.
Myopia Management Addresses Myopia’s Underlying Problem
By focusing on eye shape and employing techniques to slow myopia’s progression, our management strategies offer lasting improvements. This approach enables children to thrive academically, athletically, and socially, unimpeded by visual limitations.
Our Myopia Management Treatments
Crowder Eye Center employs advanced myopia management treatments designed to significantly improve vision and protect against the progression of myopia. Our treatment approaches include:
Ortho-K
Ortho-K involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight that temporarily reshape the cornea, allowing for clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contacts. This non-surgical option is advantageous for its effectiveness and the visual freedom it provides.
Daytime Soft Contact Lenses
Specially designed soft contact lenses are worn during the day to correct vision and help control myopia progression. These lenses offer a comfortable and convenient option for children and adults alike, providing clear vision with a simple, non-invasive solution.
