Introducing the Topcon MYAH: A New Era in Myopia Control at The Optometrists’ Clinic
At The Optometrists’ Clinic, we’re proud to stay at the forefront of eye care technology—and our latest addition is no exception. We’ve recently acquired the Topcon MYAH, a state-of-the-art diagnostic machine specifically designed for myopia control and comprehensive ocular assessments. Whether you’re a concerned parent or a patient interested in proactive eye care, here’s what you need to know about this exciting new tool.
What Is the Topcon MYAH?
The Topcon MYAH is a diagnostic device built to help optometrists monitor and manage progressive myopia (nearsightedness). It provides a detailed analysis of the eye’s axial length (the distance from the front to the back of the eye), which is key to tracking how myopia progresses over time—especially in children and teens. Axial elongation is a major risk factor for serious eye diseases later in life, making early detection and treatment essential.
What Does the MYAH Do?
The MYAH offers a suite of tools designed for advanced myopia management, including:
- Axial Length Measurement: Tracks the growth of the eye, helping assess how fast myopia is progressing.
- Corneal Topography: Maps the curvature of the eye to detect irregularities, assess for conditions like keratoconus, and determine suitability for contact lenses.
- Pupillometry: Measures pupil responses to assess visual function and light sensitivity.
- Dry Eye Analysis: Evaluates tear break-up time and meibomian gland health, offering valuable insights into dry eye syndrome.
Why Is This Important?
Myopia is on the rise globally, especially among children. The MYAH gives our optometrists the tools to catch changes early and intervene effectively, often with treatments like:
- Myopia control contact lenses
- Specialty glasses lenses for myopia management
- Orthokeratology (overnight reshaping lenses)
- Lifestyle and environmental recommendations
By monitoring axial length and corneal changes regularly, we can offer personalized, evidence-based treatment plans for every child at risk of progressive myopia.
A Commitment to Proactive Eye Care
Investing in the Topcon MYAH is part of our ongoing commitment to bringing the most advanced technology to our patients across Edmonton, Leduc, and Westlock. Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child’s vision or an adult looking for a deeper understanding of your eye health, the MYAH provides next-level insights that help us protect your sight today—and for years to come.
