Myopia Control Lenses - The Solution to Prevent Vision Deterioration in Children
Have you noticed your child holding the screen too close to their eyes? Struggling to see at a distance? There's a way to slow vision deterioration - and it's scientifically proven that the earlier you start, the better you can preserve long-term vision with myopia control lenses.
Why has nearsightedness in children become such a concerning phenomenon?
- In the last decade, there has been a sharp increase in the number of children diagnosed with nearsightedness (myopia).
- Studies indicate that one in three children develops myopia at a young age.
- Contributing factors include extended screen time, close-range reading, lack of natural light exposure, and genetics.
- The problem is that nearsightedness doesn't just require glasses - if not managed properly, it worsens rapidly.
What happens if we don't stop the process at a young age?
- The prescription continues to increase rapidly - leading to very high numbers and the need for complex and expensive lenses.
- The eyeball elongates excessively - an anatomical change that can cause irreversible damage.
- Increased risk of future eye diseases, such as:
- Retinal detachment - a dangerous condition that can lead to vision loss.
- Glaucoma - high intraocular pressure that damages the optic nerve.
- Early cataracts - cloudiness in the eye's lens leading to sharp vision decline.
- Macular degeneration - damage to the critical area of vision.
The good news: we can stop it!
The solution: myopia control lenses - advanced eyeglass lenses that slow the progression of nearsightedness
In the past, there was no real solution - regular glasses corrected vision but didn't prevent progression.
Today, studies have proven that myopia control lenses can slow the rate of prescription increase by 40% to 60%.
Types of lenses that slow myopia progression
- HOYA lenses (MYOSMART) - The leading and most researched lenses. D.I.M.S technology that slows prescription increase by 60%.
- ESSILOR lenses (STELLEST) - With advanced HALT technology for slowing nearsightedness progression.
- ZEISS lenses (MYOCARE) - Combine vision correction with a special mechanism to slow eyeball growth.
- OPTIMIZE lenses (MYOSLOW) - Specifically developed to slow progression rates in children and teenagers.
The most important step: measuring eyeball length - without this step, treatment effectiveness decreases significantly!
Want to know if your child's nearsightedness is progressing rapidly? Measuring eyeball length is the only way to know.
- This measurement allows us to identify how fast myopia is progressing, helping to customize the most precise solution for each child.
- Without the measurement, there's no real way to check if the lenses you chose are actually slowing the progression.
- Only with accurate data on eyeball elongation can we verify that the treatment is truly working.
How does it work in practice?
- Parents schedule an eye exam for their child at the optical store.
- We perform eyeball length measurement using advanced NIDEK equipment.
- We fit the child with the most appropriate lenses based on the data.
- Follow-up visits every six months to ensure the lenses are doing their job.
This way, you can preserve your child's vision and prevent future damage.
