Myopia, prevalent in youth, blurs distant vision due to eye shape. Its rise, influenced by genetics, environment, and lifestyle, threatens unchecked progression to severe conditions like retinal detachment and glaucoma. Regular eye check-ups are vital for clear vision and overall health. Controlling myopia through lifestyle changes and specialized treatments is imperative
Myopia-controlling soft contact lenses utilize peripheral defocus, focusing the central vision directly onto the retina for clear distance vision (gold region). The peripheral portion (pink) intentionally focuses in front of the retina, providing a signal that slows eye growth, consequently reducing prescription changes.
SOFT CONTACT LENS THERAPY
ORTHO-K LENS THERAPY
Ortho-K lenses, worn overnight, gently reshape the cornea to correct myopia. Custom-designed for each patient, they provide clear vision throughout the day by flattening the cornea while sleeping. This peripheral defocus effect helps slow down myopia progression in children, similar to other myopia control options like glasses and soft contact lenses.

ATROPINE THERAPY
Low dose atropine has been used in eye care for over 100 years to help eye doctors view the inside of the eye and treat certain eye conditions. To control myopia, researchers have discovered that low concentration atropine (1/20th the normal concentration) can slow down myopia progression by about 40 – 60%. Low concentration atropine needs to be compounded by a pharmacist. The drops are taken once per day at night before bed.
