Advanced Myopia Control for Children's Vision
Advanced Eye Care, Focused on Your Family.
Myopia Control
Proactive Nearsightedness Management
Myopia Control is a critical, specialized service offered by ClearLight Eyecare, Doctors of Optometry, focused on actively managing and slowing the progression of nearsightedness in children and young adults. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a growing public health concern, and its progression increases the risk of serious eye conditions later in life. Our advanced approach uses innovative practices to not just correct vision, but to manage eye growth, protecting your child’s sight for the long term.
Why Myopia Control is Essential
Traditional eyeglasses only correct blurry distance vision; they do not slow the underlying growth of the eyeball that causes the progression of myopia. When the eyeball grows too long, the stretching of the retinal tissue can lead to higher risks for complications like retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration in adulthood. Our Myopia Control services aim to intervene early to slow this progression, ultimately reducing the severity of nearsightedness and mitigating future health risks.
Customized Treatment Strategies
We believe in personalized care, which is vital for effective Myopia Control. After a thorough Comprehensive Eye Examination, we will recommend the most appropriate evidence-based treatment strategy for your child. Our options are designed for both efficacy and ease of use:
- Specialty Contact Lenses: Utilizing specific Contact Lens Fitting designs to alter the focus of light on the retina, slowing eye growth.
- Prescription Eye Drops: Low-dose pharmaceutical drops used to influence the biochemical pathways that drive eyeball elongation.
- Lifestyle Modification and Monitoring: Guidance on screen time, outdoor activity, and regular monitoring to track progress.
We prioritize your child's comfort and safety throughout the entire treatment journey.
Technology and Expertise You Can Trust
Our use of the latest diagnostic technology ensures we can precisely monitor your child's eye length and visual changes. This data-driven approach allows us to adjust treatments as needed, ensuring we achieve the best possible outcomes. Dr. Swail Pirzada and the entire team are committed to combining this advanced technology with compassionate service, delivering the highest quality of care in the North Vancouver community.
Supporting Families Across the Lower Mainland
As a locally-owned clinic that values Community Focused care, we strive to make advanced Myopia Control accessible to families across the Lower Mainland. We look forward to partnering with you to secure a healthier visual future for your child. For children who have difficulty visiting our primary location, our Mobile Eye Clinic may offer options for initial consultations and check-ups at a local school or community center.
At what age should a child start Myopia Control treatment?
The ideal time to start treatment is as soon as myopia is diagnosed, typically in early childhood. Early intervention is key, as it is easier to slow progression than to reverse it. Our Comprehensive Eye Examinations are crucial for this early detection.
Are the Myopia Control contact lenses difficult for a child to wear?
We provide detailed instruction during the Contact Lens Fitting and trial period to ensure both the child and parent are comfortable with insertion, removal, and cleaning. The specialized lenses are designed for daily wear and are generally well-tolerated.
Will my child still need glasses or contacts for clear vision while undergoing Myopia Control?
Yes, the goal of Myopia Control is to slow progression, not to eliminate the existing prescription. Your child will still need corrective lenses (glasses or contacts) to achieve clear vision, but the hope is that their prescription will stabilize and not become progressively stronger.
