Slowing Myopia Progression? There's a Proven Way to Slow the Process!

Have you noticed your child moving closer to the screen? Having difficulty reading from a distance? If so, they may be developing myopia (nearsightedness) - a problem that worsens over time, but there is a proven way to stop it: slowing myopia progression.

In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of children diagnosed with myopia. Research indicates that the rate of children suffering from this problem is on an upward trend, with one in three children developing myopia at a young age.

The causes are numerous - genetics, prolonged screen time, close-range reading, and insufficient exposure to natural light. But the problem doesn't end with just needing glasses - when myopia isn't managed properly, it worsens over time and can lead to very high prescriptions and even serious eye health complications in adulthood.

What happens when myopia isn't managed at a young age?

Children with untreated myopia may experience rapid vision deterioration. As the prescription increases, the eyeball elongates excessively, increasing the risk of developing serious eye diseases in adulthood:

• Retinal detachment - a dangerous condition that can lead to vision loss.
• Glaucoma - increased intraocular pressure that damages the optic nerve.
• Early cataracts - development of lens opacity at a younger age than usual.
• Macular degeneration - damage to the central vision area, affecting the ability to see sharp and clear.

Additionally, the economic impact must be considered - as the prescription increases, the need for more complex and expensive lenses grows.

The Solution: Myopia Management with Advanced Lenses

In the past, there was no real solution to slow the rate of prescription increase, and the main approach was regular glasses that corrected vision but didn't stop the progression. Today, thanks to smart myopia management lenses, it's possible to slow myopia progression by 40% to 60%, preventing unnecessary worsening of the condition.

Types of Eyeglass Lenses That Slow Myopia Progression

• Hoya lenses (MYOSMART) - the leading and most scientifically proven lenses. Based on D.I.M.S technology that slows prescription progression by an average of 60%.
• Essilor lenses (STELLEST) - innovative lenses with HALT technology providing an advanced solution for slowing prescription progression.
• Zeiss lenses (MYOCARE) - lenses that combine vision correction with slowing eyeball growth.
• Optimize lenses (MYOSLOW) - lenses specifically developed to slow myopia progression in children and teenagers.
  
  
  

The Most Important Step in Myopia Management - Measuring Axial Eye Length

Without accurate measurement of axial eye length, the effectiveness of myopia management lenses decreases significantly!

• This measurement is the key tool for assessing myopia progression.
• The data obtained allows precise fitting of lens types for each child.
• Without tracking axial eye length, there's no way to know if the treatment is actually working!
  
  

What's Important to Know Before Fitting Myopia Management Lenses?

• The earlier you start, the more significantly you can slow prescription progression.
• Personal fitting is critical - every child has different needs, so it's important to check which lenses are suitable for them individually.
• Regular monitoring - it's recommended to have check-ups every six months to ensure the lenses are actually helping slow myopia progression.
• Not every optometrist fits myopia management lenses - this is a complex field requiring advanced equipment and professional experience.
  
  

Why is it Important to Perform Myopia Management Only with Optometrists Who Have Advanced Equipment?

Myopia management is a rapidly developing field, and today there are technological solutions that enable slowing myopia progression. But to ensure treatment is optimally tailored for each child, it's important to perform the fitting only at a place equipped with advanced equipment for measuring axial eye length.

• Advanced measuring devices - enable accurate diagnosis of eyeball elongation, the most important parameter in myopia management.
• Personal fitting based on measurement data - fitting myopia management lenses based on objective measurements, not just glasses prescription.
• Professional long-term monitoring - proper myopia management requires periodic check-ups to ensure treatment is effective for the child.
  
  

In Summary - Your Child's Vision Future is in Your Hands

Myopia isn't just about visual acuity - it can significantly affect future eye health. Fitting myopia management lenses combined with accurate axial eye length measurement can slow myopia progression and preserve your child's eye health over time.
