Myopia Management
Myopia management refers to 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 management techniques include the use of specialized contact lenses, glasses, and orthokeratology, which reshape the cornea overnight.
In addition to optical interventions, lifestyle changes can also play a role in myopia management. Encouraging outdoor activities and reducing screen time may help decrease the risk of worsening myopia. Regular eye examinations with an optometrist are essential for monitoring eye health and adjusting management strategies as needed.
