Myopia Management At Eyes Fort Worth

​

Understanding Myopia

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. This occurs when the eye grows too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia often begins in childhood and can progress over time, leading to more severe vision issues if left unmanaged.

 

The Importance of Myopia Management

At Eyes Fort Worth, we specialize in myopia management to slow the progression of nearsightedness and reduce the risk of long-term eye health complications. Effective myopia management can prevent higher degrees of myopia, which are associated with an increased risk of serious eye conditions such as:

• Retinal detachment

• Glaucoma

• Cataracts

• Macular degeneration

 

Comprehensive Myopia Management Program

Our comprehensive myopia management program at Eyes Fort Worth includes a range of evidence-based treatments tailored to each patient’s needs:

• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K):

  • Ortho-K involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight to gently reshape the cornea. This temporary reshaping allows for clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Ortho-K has been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children and teenagers.

• Multifocal Contact Lenses:

  • Multifocal contact lenses provide clear vision at various distances and help reduce the progression of myopia. These lenses are worn during the day and offer a convenient option for myopia management.

• Atropine Eye Drops:

  • Low-dose atropine eye drops are used to slow the progression of myopia. These drops are typically applied once daily and have been shown to be effective in reducing the rate of myopia progression in children.

• Lifestyle and Visual Environment Modifications:

  • Encouraging outdoor activities and reducing prolonged near work, such as screen time, can also help manage myopia progression. Our team will provide personalized recommendations to support your child's vision health.
