Myopia Control

Myopia is increasing in prevalence worldwide and is expected to affect up to 50% of the global population by 2050. Myopia increases the risk of open-angle glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic macular degeneration so controlling its progression may help preserve vision in old age.

MCVI clinic offers a variety of management options that have been shown through research studies to reduce or slow down the progression or worsening of myopia, specially in children. These include special types of spectacle lenses (glasses), contact lenses, Ortho-keratology and atropine eye drops.

Myopia control also involves the study of lifestyle and environmental factors which can trigger myopia progression. Considering your child’s time spent outdoors and indoors, screen time are also important factors in managing myopia.

At MCVI, we perform tests specific to myopia development and recommend individualised treatment options. The extra clinical care is provided that is required for children and adults with myopia and the power has been controlled significantly in many children. WE HAVE COUNSELLING SESSIONS TOO. Our true reward is our many of the happy and satisfied parents and the children who have better vision now with slower progression.
