Myopia, or nearsightedness, is on the rise, especially among children and young adults. With increasing screen time and changes in lifestyle, myopia has become a growing concern for parents. At Dr. Bhowal’s Myopia Clinic in Siliguri, we offer advanced myopia control lenses designed to manage and reduce the progression of myopia in children and young adults.
What Are Myopia Control Lenses?
Myopia control lenses are specialized glasses or contact lenses that help slow down the progression of myopia. These lenses work by altering the way light enters the eye, helping to reduce the strain that typically contributes to the worsening of myopia.
Why Are Myopia Control Lenses Important?
As myopia progresses, it can lead to more severe vision problems such as retinal damage and an increased risk of glaucoma. Myopia control lenses, like the Zeiss MyoCare Lenses, are scientifically designed to slow the elongation of the eye, which is the primary cause of myopia.
At Dr. Bhowal’s Myopia Clinic, we use state-of-the-art technology to measure and track the progression of myopia in our young patients. Based on these measurements, we recommend the most appropriate myopia control lenses to prevent worsening of their condition.
How Do Myopia Control Lenses Work?
There are several types of myopia control lenses available at our clinic:
- Multifocal Lenses: These lenses have different zones to help focus light properly on the retina, reducing myopia progression.
- Orthokeratology Lenses: These special contact lenses are worn overnight to reshape the cornea, helping to correct vision temporarily without the need for glasses during the day.
- Bifocal or Dual Focus Lenses: These lenses have different focusing power in different areas, helping to reduce the strain on the eye, which can contribute to myopia progression.
