If your child squints, be careful! Your child may be nearsighted.
Low-dose 0.01% atropine administered as eye drops is an effective treatment option for slowing the progression of myopia. However, this treatment must be administered under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
Specially Designed Myopia Lenses: While traditional glasses only sharpen vision, new-generation myopia control lenses provide clear vision while also slowing down myopia progression. These specially designed lenses prevent excessive elongation of the eyeball by deliberately shifting focus to the eye's peripheral retina. Scientific data shows that these lenses can slow myopia progression by 50–60%.
Contact Lenses for Myopia Control: For some children, especially those with rapidly progressing myopia who struggle to wear glasses, specially designed contact lenses may be preferred. These lenses are designed to slow the progression of myopia. Orthokeratology lenses, worn at night and removed in the morning, are also an option.
