Understanding Myopia Control

At Total Vision in Huntington Beach, we believe in empowering our patients and their parents with the knowledge of myopia and its management.

Myopia control is an essential part of preserving eye health, and we use various techniques and treatments to stop myopia from progressing. Together, we can work towards better eye health for your child.

Myopia in Children

Eye health plays a significant role in your child’s learning and development. Myopia can impact a child’s ability to focus on their surroundings, which in turn might affect their academic performance.

Timely management of myopia can manage the risk of high myopia and its associated risks like glaucoma, cataracts, retinal tears, and myopic macular degeneration.

Children may exhibit several signs and symptoms of myopia, such as:

Squinting to view distant objects
Blurred vision while looking at objects located far away
Frequent headaches
Eye strain

Myopia Management Strategies

At Total Vision in Huntington Beach goal is not just diagnosis, but also to effectively manage your child’s myopia so they can live life with comfortable, clear sight.

Here is our list of featured myopia control strategies. We can determine and recommend a strategy when you bring your child in for an eye exam.

Orthokeratology Lenses

Orthokeratology, often shortened to Ortho-K, involves the use of specially designed gas permeable contact lenses that the child wears overnight. These lenses work by gently reshaping the front surface of the eye while your child sleeps.

When they wake up, your child can remove the lenses and enjoy clear vision throughout the day while also managing myopia progression.

Myopia Control Multifocal Lenses

MiSight and Natural Vue Multifocal contact lenses are innovative solutions for managing myopia in children.

Both of these lenses utilize peripheral defocusing techniques that manages how light focuses on the retina, which can signal the eye to slow down myopia progression.

Atropine Eye Drops

Atropine eye drops are specially formulated drops that demonstrate efficacy in the management of myopia in children. These eye drops relax the eye’s focusing mechanisms, which works to help manage myopia progression.

By managing myopia progression, these drops can play a crucial role in safeguarding your child’s vision and eye health.

Myopia Management Strategies

At Total Vision in Huntington Beach, our aim is to not only diagnose but also help manage your child’s myopia for a life of comfortable, clear vision.

We work to achieve this through the use of low-dose atropine eye drops. These specially formulated drops have shown great effectiveness in managing myopia in children. By relaxing the eye’s focusing mechanisms, these drops help control the progression of myopia.
