Myopia control refers to various strategies aimed at slowing the progression of myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. This condition occurs when the eyeball grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry. Effective myopia control methods include the use of specialized contact lenses, glasses, and orthokeratology, which reshape the cornea overnight. In addition to optical interventions, lifestyle changes can also help manage myopia. Encouraging children to spend more time outdoors and reducing screen time may contribute to slower progression. Regular eye exams with an optometrist can help monitor changes in vision and determine the best approach for myopia control.
