comes with myopia.<\/p>\n<p>Every myopia management plan is individualized and takes into account the age of the child, their optical prescription, and their personal lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Follow-up visits every few weeks or months are advised to facilitate evaluation of the treatment&#8217;s effectiveness and to make any necessary changes.<\/p>\n<p>The most common treatment options

specially designed to slow the progression of myopia by gently reshaping the cornea.<\/p>\n<p>The cornea is the primary focusing part of the eye, and by reshaping this surface the eye can focus light correctly, giving you clear vision.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ortho-k are rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses worn while sleeping and removed in the morning, offering clear vision as a result of a change in corneal shape<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Ortho-K lenses eliminate the need for daytime eyewear, making them a convenient choice for many children and young adults.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Atropine eye
