Dr. Bhowal's Myopia Clinic offer myopia control lenses designed to slow down the progression of myopia in children and young adults. These lenses use advanced optical technology to address the underlying cause of myopia - elongation of the eyeball. By correcting the peripheral vision blur, myopia control lenses help to slow down this elongation, thus reducing the risk of worsening myopia over time.
Our clinic offers ZEISS MyoCare lenses, which are among the most effective myopia control lenses available. These lenses are specially designed to reduce the growth of myopia in children, helping to preserve their vision and prevent future complications like retinal damage or glaucoma. Our specialists will assess your child's condition and recommend the best lenses based on their age and severity of myopia, ensuring the most effective treatment possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are myopia control lenses?
Myopia control lenses are specialized glasses or contact lenses designed to slow down the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children and young adults by controlling how light enters the eye.
How do myopia control lenses work?
These lenses work by reducing the elongation of the eyeball, which is the primary cause of myopia progression. They provide clear central vision and manage peripheral defocus to slow myopia growth.
Can myopia control lenses stop myopia from worsening?
While they cannot cure myopia, myopia control lenses are highly effective in slowing the progression, especially in children who are experiencing rapid increases in myopia.
How long will my child need to wear myopia control lenses?
The length of time varies based on the child’s myopia progression. Most children will benefit from wearing them until their myopia stabilizes, typically around the age of 20.
Are myopia control lenses comfortable to wear?
Yes, myopia control lenses are designed to be comfortable and easy to wear. Our clinic ensures a proper fit, ensuring comfort throughout the day or night, depending on the lens type.
