Myopia Management

What is myopia

Myopia, also known as near-sightedness, is one of the most common eye conditions in the world. If you have myopia, you can see things close to you clearly but objects that are far away are blurry. It is anticipated that by 2050. 50% of the world’s population‘ will have some form of myopia leading to talk of a “myopia epidemic”.

Myopia is caused by how the eye grows. If your eye grows too long in length, images will not focus correctly on your retina (the back of your eye). In most cases this vision problem is rectified with glasses or contact lenses with negative powers to move the focus onto the retina. However, the underlying problem — the eye growing in length — is not treated.

The risks

Not addressing myopia early is a missed opportunity as, particularly in children, vision may continue to deteriorate to more severe levels of myopia. Higher amounts of myopia are associated with several eye conditions such as glaucoma, myopic macular degeneration and retinal detachments. In the most severe cases, these conaitions can lead to permanent vision loss. This is why it is important to identify and treat myopia progression early.

Inhibiting myopia through
myopia control

Getting myopia under control by inhibiting the growth in length of the eye is precisely what we are able to do with the various treatment plans. We do this with the help of specially designed contact lenses.

Menicon Bloom Night ™

The orthokeratology lenses that are part of our treatment plan are called Menicon Bloom Night lenses. They help slow the progression of myopia while also correcting your vision.

You wear the lenses while you sleep and the lenses gently reshape the outer layer of your cornea. This new shape of the cornea affects how images focus on your retina and can slow the growth of the length of your eye therefore reducing the amount of myopia you develop.

So this treatment means you will not be as near-sighted as you would be if you were not using Mincon Bloom Night.

On top of all this, it also means you can see clearly throughout the day without glasses or contact lenses!
