myopia control

how can we stop it or slow it down?

1. Corneal Reshaping AKA Ortho-Keratology
   1. Ortho K lenses are worn while sleeping and removed in the morning. These lenses change the shape of the cornea temporarily, allowing the wearer to see clearly all day without having to use glasses or regular contacts.
2. soft contact lens
   1. MiSight
   2. NaturalVue Multifocal
   3. Multifocal soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses are worn in the daytime. In recent years, FDA has approved the use of one type of multifocal contact lenses for children to slow myopia progression.
3. atropine drops
   1. Atropine is an eye-drop treatment that typically makes light appear brighter by enlarging the pupil. The drops also blur near vision by reducing the ability to focus on up-close items. Still, low concentration atropine has been shown to slow nearsightedness progression significantly without an increase in pupil size or a dramatic decrease in near vision acuity.
