Myopia treatment

Myopia is the most common eye disorder in the world, affecting a large proportion of the population. It can begin in childhood an progress, or only become apparent later in life. In the most severe cases it can cause vision loss.

However, adult and child myopia treatment can actually be quite simple. If you have been experiencing some of the symptoms of myopia, including blurred vision, headaches, eye strain, or eye fatigue, it can be a relief to know what’s causing it, and to find a treatment that helps.

Contact lenses

Another form of treatment for myopia is contact lenses. There are a lot of different options available. Based on your ocular health and your needs, an optometrist will advise you accordingly. Contact lenses come in a variety of styles and lengths of wear, from daily disposables to reusable lenses (the latter require daily cleaning and can be worn for up to two weeks or as long as one month, depending on the type).

Some people find contact lenses hard to use, or experience difficulty putting them in, but usually lenses just take a bit of getting used to. Some people simply prefer glasses. Contact lenses can also be an option for your child, depending on age, maturity and responsibility. Your optometrist will advise the best option. For contact lens wearers it is important to also have at least one pair of glasses available, as there is a maximum number of hours that the lenses can be worn.
