In this informative video, Dr. Preethi, a Consultant Paediatric Ophthalmologist, discusses the growing concern of myopia (nearsightedness) in children and how technological advancements are being used to control its progression.
Myopia is becoming increasingly common among children, and while it cannot be reversed, there are several effective methods to manage it. Dr. Preethi explains three primary options:
Low-Dose Atropine Drops: These eye drops are administered every night for a minimum period of 2-3 years. They act on the eyeball, preventing it from increasing in axial length, which helps control myopia progression.
Peripheral Defocus Glasses (Myopia Control Glasses): Unlike regular myopia glasses, these lenses feature a minus correction in the center and a plus correction on the sides. This unique design helps prevent the eyeball from elongating, controlling myopia by up to 80%.
Orthokeratology Lenses: These special lenses are worn at night, flattening the cornea and correcting the child's vision. The next day, the child can be glasses-free.
Dr. Preethi highlights the importance of consulting with an ophthalmologist to determine the best myopia control method for each child, based on their specific needs.
