Myopia is becoming increasingly common in children around the world.
Many children experience increasing glasses prescriptions as their eyes grow.
Modern eye care is increasingly focused on myopia management, which aims to slow the progression of myopia rather than simply updating glasses each year.
Long-Term Eye Health
Higher levels of myopia are associated with increased risks of certain eye conditions later in life.
For this reason, slowing the progression of myopia during childhood may help reduce long-term risks.
Modern Myopia Management Tools
Today, eye care professionals can use several approaches to manage myopia, including:
• specialized contact lenses
By combining these tools, clinics can take a more proactive approach to protecting vision.
At Northern Optics, the combination of axial length monitoring and Ortho-K helps guide treatment decisions and provides a more precise approach to managing myopia.
