Myopia control methods for children share, stifle the deepening of myopia in children

The pressure of learning and the practical use of various electronic devices in children and adolescents has caused serious radiation damage to the eyes, and as a result, myopia is becoming more and more serious in young children and adolescents. If not treated carefully, there is a risk that pseudomyopia will become true myopia and will continue to worsen. For this reason, parents can pay attention to ways to control myopia in children to stop it from deepening.

OK lenses for myopia control in children

OK lenses, also known as nighttime orthokeratology lenses, are a way to correct vision at night by changing the shape of the cornea with contact lenses. When worn at night, myopia is eliminated the next day, so you can see clearly without glasses, play sports, and read and study normally. The principle of using OK lenses is to change the curvature of the cornea, so that the refractive error can be corrected and good vision can be achieved, effectively slowing down the deepening of myopia. In children, myopia can be reduced by about 500 degrees after two weeks of controlled use of the OK lens. Although OK lenses are not a cure for myopia and need to be worn every night, they are more suitable for vision correction.

Low-concentration atropine eye drops for myopia control in children

The eye drops can help control myopia in children, but not all eye drops are useful, but atropine eye drops are effective in controlling the deepening of myopia in children. A team has tested the effect of using different concentrations of atropine eye drops for myopia control in children, and after one year, the effect was indeed effective in slowing down the growth rate of myopia. Before using the eye drops, the eyes need to be checked to see if they can be used. Although the eye drops can control the growth of myopia, the use of the drops may cause dilated pupils or photophobia in children, and the dosage and frequency should be controlled.

Children's myopia can also be controlled by the use of HOYA lenses with DIMS technology, which is a non-invasive method of controlling myopia in children up to 60% developed in collaboration with the School of Optometry of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and is safe and reliable.
