Myopia develops when the eye grows too long from front to back (axial length), and generally worsens over time until the eye is fully developed\u2014 usually around the age of 20.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While distance-only glasses and contact lenses are the traditional method of vision correction for myopia, these lenses focus light in a way that can actually increase the axial length of the eye\u2014 ultimately causing myopia to worsen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A child with myopia has an increased risk for developing vision threatening eye diseases in the future, such

myopia, as they enable vision acuity for distant images. Many times, reduced focusing skills can contribute to the development of myopia\u2014 these children may need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/optical\/guide-to-bifocals-and-multifocals\/\">bifocal or multifocal lens<\/a> to support the child\u2019s focusing skills.<\/p>\n<p>Bifocal and multifocal lenses contain different lens powers throughout the lens, and enable clear vision at all distances. The specific power for the child\u2019s near vision reduces the stress on the eyes, and possibly the progression of myopia.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Contact lenses<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Contact lenses provide clear vision at all distances, with a wider field of view as compared to eyeglasses. A multifocal contact lens works similar to eyeglasses to improve distance vision acuity while simultaneously reducing the stress on the eyes for reading and other near vision tasks. This can consequently reduce myopia progression.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Atropine eye drops<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>These medicated eye drops can be used to dilate the eye\u2019s pupils during an eye exam, but have also been proven to reduce myopia progression. A very low dose of this eye drop is placed in the child\u2019s lower eyelid every day.<\/p>\n<p>This method is effective for children between the ages of 8 and 15, it only requires a single drop into the child\u2019s eye once per day. Side effects may include blurry near vision or light sensitivity. Children will still need to wear their regular glasses or contacts during the day, but the eye drops can assist in slowing down the worsening myopia.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Orthokeratology (Ortho-k)\/ Corneal refractive therapy (CRT)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Ortho-k reduces myopia progression through the use of specialized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/optical\/guide-to-contact-lenses\/guide-to-hard-contact-lenses\/\">rigid contact lenses<\/a> that reshape the cornea, the front outer surface of the eye. The contacts work to flatten the cornea, thereby changing the way light is focused on the retina at the back of the eye.<\/p>\n<p>The contact lenses are inserted before bedtime, and are generally only worn while your child sleeps. Ortho-k provides clear vision for the whole day, thereby eliminating the need for wearing glasses or contacts during the day.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ortho-k has been proven to reduce the rate of myopia progression in children by up to 50 percent.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><strong>Schedule an appointment<\/strong><\/a> with an eye doctor who can start managing your child&#8217;s myopia.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Can vision therapy control myopia progression?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/what-is-vision-therapy\/\">Vision therapy<\/a> is an appropriate and effective treatment for children who have acquired myopia as a result of reduced eye focusing skills. Vision therapy involves a personalized program that trains the child\u2019s visual system, including the eye-brain connection, to work more efficiently\u2014 thereby improving focusing abilities. Children who have reduced focusing skills, have a greater risk of developing progressive myopia.<\/p>\n<h2><b>When should my child start myopia management?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>It is best to begin Myopia management as soon as possible to increase optimal results.
