Myopia Control and Treatment Options

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is an eye condition where nearby objects appear clear, but distant ones are blurry. This occurs when the eye is slightly elongated. Myopia affects both children and adults, and early intervention is crucial for effective treatment. Research confirms that controlling myopia progression is more successful when started at a young age.

Treatment Options for Myopia Control

Our practice offers three primary treatment options for managing myopia:

  • Atropine Therapy: Atropine can effectively slow myopia progression without significant mydriasis or cycloplegia. We provide low-dosage atropine through a compounding pharmacy.
  • Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses: These lenses slow nearsightedness progression and have shown a 25% reduction in myopia progression and a 31% decrease in eye elongation in children over two years. We are now fitting Cooper Vision MiSight lenses, specifically designed for myopia control in children.
  • Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): This treatment uses specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea overnight, allowing clearer daytime vision without corrective lenses. Our practice is certified in Euclid lenses and specializes in ortho-K corneal reshaping therapy.

Scleral Lens Fitting for Corneal Disease

Our expertise extends to scleral lens fittings for managing corneal diseases, such as keratoconus. We offer specialized lenses, including the Bausch & Lomb Zen lens and SynergEyes VS lens, which provide a comfortable, custom fit for those with complex corneal conditions. This service is ideal for patients seeking enhanced vision and comfort for conditions that require precise lens customization.
