Myopia
Controlling myopia is a public health problem as it is estimated that by 2050 about 50% of the population will be short-sighted.
Myopia in adulthood may be associated with possible complications such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and maculopathy.
In addition to the genetic factor, lifestyle is certainly a factor affecting the early myopization of children and adolescents. We spend less time outdoors but many hours in front of digital devices at very close distances.
In addition to adequate control of daily habits, there are several approaches to the control of myopic progression, which can slow down the deterioration of visual defects by an average of 60%.
At our optometric offices, we practice all the techniques currently available
- Optical lenses with DIMS technology (Miyo Smart Hoya, Stellest Essilor)
- Daily soft myopic control contact lenses (My Sight)
- Quarterly personalized contact lenses with myopic control
- Orthocheratology
Users who rely on us for myopic control are followed by a strict protocol based on scheduled controls, education to correct visual hygiene, and close collaboration with the ophthalmologist.
