MYOPIA TREATMENTS
兒童近視治療

So your child has been diagnosed with short-sightedness. What options are available to help prevent his or her eyes from getting worse?
Treatment options to myopia progression included Orthokeratology (OK lens), daytime soft contact lenses, atropine eye drops and myopia control glasses.
Myopia management strategies fall into two broad categories:
​

1. Optical treatments
2. Pharmaceutical treatments

​OPTICAL TREATMENTS

Optical myopia control treatments include orthokeratology (Ortho-K), specially designed soft contact lenses, and myopia control glasses. Optical treatments work by altering the way that light enters the eye to influence eye growth and myopia progression. It is worth emphasising that ordinary single vision glasses and contact lenses can only correct vision but do not have myopia control treatment effects.

What's the difference between myopia correction and myopia treatment? There's a big difference.

​Myopia correction, which is when an optometrist prescribes ordinary distance glasses to help your child see clearer, is only temporarily masking the condition by fixing the symptoms — blurred vision. What we do is treat the underlying condition that causes the blurred vision — abnormal eye growth and elongation — so that further vision deterioration can be prevented.

PHARMACEUTICAL TREATMENTS

Atropine is the primary medical treatment for myopia control in Australia and around the world. Long-term clinical trials and studies by renowned institutions have been completed and published to validate the effectiveness of atropine on slowing myopia progression, as well as its safety profile for regular dosing in children.
