Myopia Control

Understanding Myopia

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent refractive error affecting approximately 1.45 billion people, or 27% of the global population. The development and progression of myopia often begin in childhood. At Golden Hill Optical in Mesa, Arizona, we offer comprehensive eye exams to diagnose myopia and explore effective options for controlling its progression.

Effective Myopia Control Options

Addressing myopia involves not only correcting vision but also managing its progression. Over the years, several methods have proven effective in controlling myopia. Our eye care professionals will evaluate each option to determine the best approach for your individual needs. Current effective methods include:

• CRT (Corneal Refractive Therapy) Lenses: Specially designed gas permeable contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea and reduce myopia.

• Multifocal Contact Lenses: Contact lenses with multiple prescription zones that help manage myopia progression by reducing the strain on the eyes.

• Atropine Eye Drops: Low-dose atropine eye drops have been shown in numerous studies to slow the progression of myopia in children.

Personalized Myopia Management

We assess each patient individually to recommend the most appropriate myopia control method based on their specific needs and lifestyle. The goal is to effectively manage myopia and enhance visual outcomes while minimizing further progression.

Controlling myopia is considered a significant achievement in modern medicine, addressing a global and challenging condition. At Golden Hill Optical, we are committed to providing advanced myopia control solutions to improve your vision and quality of life.
