Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, occurs when the eye becomes too elongated, either due to genetic factors or a traumatic injury. The condition is exceedingly common, affecting one in three children according to some studies, and while it cannot be cured in a physiological sense, the symptoms of myopia can be mitigated using a variety of techniques.
As experts in childhood myopia, Eyecare Opticians have compiled their most-used mitigation techniques into a single guide. They cover assistive devices, corrective procedures, and other interventions that have shown promise in the reduction or outright elimination of symptoms, many of which have not been available until recently.
Among these new treatments, the clinic highlights a non-surgical procedure known as Ortho-K as a potentially life-changing option for pediatric patients. The procedure involves the overnight wear of contact lenses which apply gentle pressure to the cornea, temporarily reshaping it and allowing children to see clearly for hours at a time, while also potentially slowing the progression of the condition.
The guide also explores the potential efficacy of bioactive red-light therapy, a new technique which is being explored in a wide range of applications throughout the medical field. In this case, eyecare specialists are using red light therapy to stimulate the growth of new tissue in the eye which, in clinical trials, led to a reduction in symptoms in over 80% of pediatric patients.
As Eyecare Opticians explains, the risks of untreated myopia can be severe and extend for the duration of a patient’s life. Specifically, those with myopia often experience headaches and migraines due to eye strain, and have an increased risk of retinal detachment and the development of glaucoma, both of which can lead to permanent vision loss.
