In today’s world of technology, myopia, and nearsightedness are becoming more and more common among children. At Vision Gallery, our team understands the importance of myopia control and is committed to providing innovative myopia control options specifically designed for children. Our clinic in Katy combines cutting-edge technology with our team’s expertise to help your child live a vision-independent future.
What is Myopia?
Myopia (shortsightedness) in kids is becoming more and more of a problem around the world. Early intervention can help kids get a better vision in the long run.
Myopia, a condition that affects 50% of people, has longer eyes and concave corneas, which cause problems like cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. It is more likely to occur in children with higher myopia rates. Myopia is present in children, and this is why doctors are trying to reduce the speed of progress for it and prevent future problems connected with myopia.
Vision Gallery is a certified provider of MiSight Daily contact lenses for myopia management. These child- friendly disposable lenses have been proven to slow the progression of myopia in children.
Why is Myopia Control Essential?
- Progression Risks
Untreated myopia becomes worse, requiring stronger prescriptions to correct eyesight problems that lead to higher risks of eye diseases in adult age.
- Daily Impact
Children with high myopia will find it hard to do sports, drive on coming of age, and perform other distant acts.
How Vision Galley Helps for Myopia Management
- Comprehensive Eye Exams
The vision Gallery stresses frequent eye checks to ensure successful eye treatment. These organizations utilize sophisticated equipment and professional optometrists who track myopia progression in children. The assessments also guide the selection of the most appropriate treatment approaches for the children’s unique eye problems, ensuring the best possible outcome.
- Specialized Lenses
Vision Gallery supplies specialized lenses specifically tailored to decelerate or halt the progression of myopia (a morphological eye change, not simply blurred vision) in the eye and not just blurry vision. The lenses are fabricated using the latest research to check the rising cases of myopia among preschoolers.
- Orthokeratology
It is a new method of myopia control using rigid contact lenses known as orthokeratology (ortho-k). These lenses help to reshape the cornea for the time being; hence, the wearers are able to see clearly without having to put on glasses or contact lenses. The ortho-k has been demonstrated to have the capability to retard myopia over time hence making it an alternative remedy for the majority of families.
- Atropine Eye Drops
New ways to manage myopia, like eye drops with atropine, are helping to slow down the progression of the condition. Low doses of atropine are a safe and effective way to manage myopia since it fits into kids’ daily lives and is non-invasive.
Steps to Help Slow Myopia
- Outdoor Time:
Ensure at least 2 hours of outdoor activities per day. Myopia can be reduced by exposure to open air and distant viewing.
- Limit Screen Time:
Providing set screen time limits and regular breaks. Implement the 20-20-20 rule: after every twenty minutes, shift to a distant object and look for twenty seconds.
- Ergonomic Reading:
Foster good reading habits. Proper lighting and position of reading materials such as books are crucial to avoid eye strain.
- Regular Eye Exams:
Schedule consistent eye check-ups. Management of myopia entails early detection and appropriate interventions.
- Nutritious Diet:
Promote a diet high in vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids. There are foods like leafy greens, carrots, and fatty fish that can be taken to boost eye health.
- Proper Eyewear:
Ensure that your child always wears their glasses if the doctor may prescribe them.
