Myopia Control

Myopia is a very common visual condition that currently affects 30% of the population. By 2050, the prevalence of myopia is estimated to increase to 50% of the world’s population. Along with the rising prevalence, myopia is occurring in earlier ages starting in childhood (6-7 years of age) and progressing at a more rapid rate than the previous generations. Although it often stabilizes around age 20 when eye growth ceases, early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing potential long-term complications such as severe vision impairment or retinal issues.

At Blink Eyewear - Optometry in Calgary, our eye doctors are highly skilled in controlling myopia in children and can offer corrective solutions for adults, ensuring comprehensive care for all age groups. By addressing myopia early, we can implement effective strategies to slow its progression and maintain better overall eye health.

Early Detection For Myopia Is Key For Optimal Outcomes

 

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that often begins in childhood and can progress as a person ages. Early detection is crucial for effective myopia treatment and management, as it can significantly reduce the risk of long-term complications. Benefits to catching myopia early include:

  • Reduces Risk of Severe Vision Issues: Early management can prevent severe complications like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts, and blindness.

  • Improves Academic Performance: Correcting vision early can help children perform better in school by ensuring they can see clearly.

  • Enhances Quality of Life: Early treatment can improve day-to-day activities by providing clearer vision and reducing dependence on corrective lenses.

  • Allows for More Treatment Options: Early detection provides a wider range of treatment options, including innovative methods like orthokeratology and atropine drops.

  • Supports Overall Eye Health: Regular eye exams can detect other eye conditions early, contributing to better overall eye health.

  • Cost-Effective: Early intervention can reduce the long-term costs associated with advanced myopia treatments and complications.

By prioritizing regular eye exams and seeking prompt treatment, you can help protect your vision and that of your loved ones. Call Blink Eyewear or book online to schedule an eye exam and take the first step towards managing myopia effectively.
