What is MYOPIA CONTROL? Myopia control is a treat

What is MYOPIA CONTROL?

Myopia control is a treatment to slow the progression of myopia in children. 🐢

Today, managing myopia is more than just a pair of distance glasses. There are 4 evidence-based methods shown to slow increasing myopia:

1. Myopia control eyeglass lenses 👓
2. Soft contact lenses 👁
3. Orthokeratology 🎯
4. Low-dose Atropine eye drops 💧

Choosing the best method is based on the unique lifestyle and visual requirements of each child. It’s always a joint decision made between our optometrists and families!

Stay tuned to learn more about our Myopia Control Academy.

Myopia is also known as near-sightedness. Someone

Myopia is also known as near-sightedness. Someone who has myopia has a longer eyeball causing blurred distance vision. Glasses are used to focus distant objects.

With a longer eyeball length, the back of the eye becomes thinner and weaker. (Think of stretching Saran wrap!)

‼️ Higher myopia = longer eye = risk of ocular diseases ‼️

Ocular diseases associated with myopia are retinal detachments, myopic maculopathy, cataracts and glaucoma.

This is why we have our Myopia Control Academy to help slow myopia progression! Stay tuned throughout the month to learn more about it or book an appointment if you can’t wait! #MyopiaMarch

What do contact lenses and tacos have in common?

What do contact lenses and tacos have in common?

It’s called the TACO TEST 🌮
This is a way to tell if your contact lens is inside out.

How does the taco test work?
Pinch your contact lens between your fingers and look at the shape it makes.

✅: The edges roll inward like a taco 🌮 = The lens is ready to put in your eye!
❌: The edges flare out like a martini glass 🍸= The lens is inside out.

Now you’ll never insert your contact lenses inside-out... and now we’re hungry 👀
