Are you feeling out of control as your children’s eyes seem to get worse and worse? Myopia care at Optical Illusions employs the latest research and technology to stop your child’s myopia in its tracks.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is an eye condition where the eye grows too large from front to back. This makes it difficult to see things at a distance. This might seem like a cosmetic issue easily solved with a pair of glasses, but it goes much deeper.

Severe nearsightedness, or high myopia, can lead to long-term eye disease such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and even blindness. It is common for a child’s eyes to continue to worsen year after year. This increases the chance of your child developing one of these sight-threatening conditions.

New research and the latest in myopia management has been proven to slow the progression of myopia in children. These solution options include:

• Orthokerotology: This non-invasive technique involves wearing custom-designed gas-permeable contact lenses overnight. They gently reshape the cornea, changing the way that light focuses into the eye, which is a signal for the eye to stop growing. In most cases, children are able to have clear daytime vision without the need for glasses or lenses.

• Low-Dose Atropine Therapy: Nightly use of low-dose atropine eye drops has shown remarkable success in slowing down myopia progression in children. These drops are safe and effective in preventing excessive elongation of the eyeball.

• Soft Multifocal Contact Lenses: These specialized lenses offer clear vision at varying distances, reducing eye strain caused by excessive close-up activities. They help manage myopia progression while providing clear sight.

• Behavioral Interventions: Dr. Wilson provides comprehensive guidance on lifestyle adjustments needed to slow the progression of myopia. These include spending time outdoors and taking regular breaks from near work.

In order to better serve his patients, Dr. Wilson has gone above and beyond to become an expert in these new treatment options. He would love you to come for a complimentary introductory visit to see if this important service is the right thing for your family.
