Empowering Children and Teens with Clear Vision and Healthy Eyes
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that affects millions of children and teens worldwide. At King’s Eye Care, we understand the importance of proactive myopia management to safeguard your child's vision and promote long-term eye health. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced diagnostic techniques, evidence-based treatments, and personalized care to address your child's unique needs and reduce the progression of myopia.
1. Early Detection:
Our experienced optometrists utilize state-of-the-art technology to detect myopia in its earliest stages, allowing for timely intervention and management. During a comprehensive eye exam, we assess your child's refractive error and evaluate other risk factors for myopia development and progression.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan:
Based on your child's specific needs and risk factors, we develop a personalized myopia management plan tailored to optimize their visual outcome and eye health. Our treatment options may include:
- Multifocal Contact Lenses: These specialized contact lenses correct nearsightedness while simultaneously slowing down the progression of myopia by controlling peripheral defocus.
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight to reshape the cornea temporarily, providing clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. This technique has been shown to slow down myopia progression significantly.
- Prescription Eye Drops: Atropine eye drops are sometimes prescribed to inhibit myopia progression by temporarily relaxing the eye's focusing mechanism.
3. Ongoing Monitoring and Support:
Our team provides comprehensive follow-up care to monitor your child's progress and make any necessary adjustments to their treatment plan. We empower you and your child with the knowledge and resources needed to maintain healthy vision and adhere to their myopia management regimen effectively.
By addressing myopia early and effectively, we can reduce the risk of associated eye conditions and complications later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Our goal is to empower children and teens with clear vision and optimal eye health for a lifetime of success and well-being.
