Myopia is a common refractive error that can progress over time and lead to serious complications. Myopia Workup at Dr. Bhowal’s Myopia Clinic is designed to offer a thorough evaluation of your child’s vision. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, we measure key factors such as refractive error, eye shape, and progression rate.
What the Myopia Workup Includes:
- OCULUS Myopia Master: Accurate measurements of the eye’s axial length and refraction.
- Detailed Eye Examination: Assessment of myopia severity and risk factors.
- Monitoring Myopia Progression: Regular follow-ups to track changes and adjust treatment plans.
- Customized Myopia Management: Based on findings, we recommend treatments such as myopia control lenses and orthokeratology to slow myopia progression.
Why Myopia Workup is Important?
Early detection allows for timely interventions to prevent complications and control myopia’s progression. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care and ensure the best possible vision outcomes for your child's future.
