Corrective lenses are essential for improving vision in individuals with myopia, especially when the condition is already present. At Dr. Bhowal's Myopia Clinic, we offer a wide selection of corrective lenses, including glasses and contact lenses, to help children and young adults see clearly in their daily activities.
Our lenses are tailored to each patient’s prescription and comfort level. We use ZEISS I-Terminal GO for precise spectacle centration measurements to ensure the most accurate fit. Whether your child prefers glasses or contact lenses, we’ll provide options that match their visual needs and lifestyle. We also offer specialty lenses for patients with high myopia or other vision-related conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are myopia corrective lenses?
Myopia corrective lenses are glasses or contact lenses that correct nearsightedness (myopia) by focusing light properly on the retina to provide clear vision.
How do I know which corrective lens is right for my child?
Our optometrists will conduct a thorough eye exam and take into account your child’s age, lifestyle, and myopia severity to recommend the best corrective lens options.
Can corrective lenses stop myopia from progressing?
No, corrective lenses only improve vision. To manage and control myopia progression, additional treatments such as myopia control lenses or medical therapies may be recommended.
Are corrective lenses comfortable to wear?
Yes, we offer a variety of corrective lenses, including options that are designed for comfort and durability. Our team ensures a proper fit and addresses any discomfort issues.
How often should my child’s corrective lenses be updated?
Your child’s prescription should be updated regularly, typically every 6 to 12 months, depending on how quickly their vision changes.
