Let’s start with the basics: What exactly is myopia? Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a condition where the shape of the cornea causes light to focus incorrectly, making distant objects appear blurry. If left unaddressed, myopia can worsen over time, especially in children and young adults. Fortunately, recent advancements in eye care now offer a few solutions. At our office, we’re equipped with the latest technology for comprehensive myopia control management. We offer a variety of effective treatments, including Atropine, Orthokeratology (Ortho-k), MiSight contact lenses, all designed to help manage and slow the progression of myopia. These cutting-edge solutions can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, preventing myopia from worsening over time. If you have concerns about your vision or your child’s eye health, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with our Lake Worth optometrist today. You can also browse our website for more detailed information on all of these treatments.
