Myopia Control in Edmonton
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry, while close-up objects are seen clearly. It happens when the eye is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia typically starts in childhood and can progress throughout the teen years and into early adulthood.
Myopia Control Treatment Options
At Optometrists’ Clinic Inc., we offer several advanced strategies to help slow the progression of myopia in children and young adults. Our goal is to protect long-term eye health and reduce the risk of future vision complications.
Therapeutic Myopia Control Contact Lenses
Specially designed soft contact lenses create a specific focus pattern on the retina that has been clinically proven to reduce the progression of myopia in children.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
These overnight lenses gently reshape the cornea while your child sleeps, providing clear vision during the day without glasses or contacts—and helping control myopia progression.
Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops
A low-concentration medicated eye drop used once nightly that has shown to slow myopia progression in children with minimal side effects.
Myopia Control Eyeglass Lenses
Special eyeglass lenses, such as Stellest™ or MiyoSmart, are designed with multiple focus zones that help manage the way light is focused on the retina to slow myopia development.
Lifestyle and Environmental Recommendations
We provide guidance on increasing outdoor time, managing screen use, and adjusting near work habits, all of which can play a role in controlling myopia.
