Choose Loveland Eyecare for Expert Myopia Management
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a common refractive error that causes distant objects to appear blurry. Myopia symptoms include difficulty seeing objects that are far away, eyestrain, headaches, and frequent squinting.
Left untreated, moderate to high myopia can significantly increase a person's risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases later in life. As the level of myopia increases, so does the risk of eye disease.
What Causes Myopia?
Several factors can contribute to the development of myopia. Genetics plays a role, as myopia tends to run in families. Spending a lot of time reading or looking at screens and doing other near work can also contribute to myopia development.
Myopia Treatment in Cromwell
At Loveland Eyecare, we offer myopia management (also called myopia control) treatments to slow the rate of myopia progression or even halt its progression altogether.
Myopia management aims to slow its progression because it increases the risk of developing eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration. The higher the progression of myopia, the greater the risk. The earlier your child begins myopia management, even for mild myopia, the greater the benefits.
Our Innovative Myopia Management Options at Loveland Eyecare
We offer a number of effective options to halt myopia’s progression and enhance visual clarity, including:
Precision Eyewear: Tailored glasses and contact lenses designed to correct nearsightedness and improve distance vision. These also support academic success, sporting activities, and daily tasks, making every moment more enjoyable for your child.
Orthokeratology: An innovative, non-surgical treatment involving overnight lenses that reshape the cornea, providing clear daytime vision without needing glasses or contact lenses.
Atropine Eye Drops: This preventative approach involves using low-dose drops to slow your child’s myopia progression. It provides a simple yet powerful means to manage myopia’s advancement and protect future eye health.
Lifestyle Recommendations: Our experienced team also offers guidance on outdoor activities and screen time moderation to support ocular health and potentially curb myopia’s advancement in children and teenagers.
