Myopia Treatment Options at Burnsville Family Eye Care

Understanding the Importance of Myopia Treatment

Effective myopia treatment is crucial to prevent the condition from worsening and leading to high myopia, significantly increasing the risk of severe eye conditions such as retinal detachment, cataracts, and glaucoma. Early and proactive myopia management helps maintain your child's vision quality and overall eye health.

How We Determine the Best Treatment Option

Early treatment of myopia can significantly slow its progression and reduce the risk of developing high myopia and associated severe eye conditions. Regular monitoring and proactive management are essential to maintaining your child's eye health and vision quality.

Our comprehensive eye exams help determine the most suitable myopia treatment for your child. We consider factors such as the severity of myopia, the child's age, lifestyle, and vision needs to create a tailored treatment plan that provides the best outcomes.

Comprehensive Myopia Treatment Strategies

Myopia management involves a range of treatment strategies designed to slow the progression of myopia. These treatments aim to reduce eye strain, control the growth of the eye, and minimize the worsening of myopia.

Misight Contact Lenses

Misight contact lenses are daily disposable lenses designed for children to slow the progression of myopia. These lenses have a unique optical design that helps manage the eye's growth while providing clear and comfortable vision throughout the day.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, involves wearing specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea, allowing for clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Ortho-K is an effective option for both children and adults to control myopia progression.

Specialty Glasses

Specialty glasses, including multifocal and bifocal lenses, reduce eye strain and manage myopia effectively. These glasses are tailored to the individual's vision needs, providing a comfortable and practical solution for myopia management.

Atropine Eye Drops

Atropine eye drops are used in low doses to slow myopia progression in children. These drops help to relax the eye muscles, reduce eye strain, and control the growth of the eye to prevent myopia from worsening.
