Myopia Control in Stoney Creek

Myopia Control for People of All Ages

Myopia is on the rise among Canadian children, making it harder for them to clearly see distant objects. Since 80% of childhood learning happens visually, myopia control is vital for helping children develop effectively. However, myopia can also affect adults and should always be taken seriously since it increases a person’s likelihood of developing more severe eye conditions.

Perception Eyecare is ready to help patients with myopia management at every stage of life. Our eye doctors can provide numerous options for slowing myopia’s progression and limiting its effects.

What Can I Do About Myopia?

At Perception Eyecare, we can help children and adults control myopia in several ways. After performing axial length measurements the severity of your myopia, we may recommend any of the following approaches:

• Soft multifocal contact lenses: these lenses can help reduce the rate at which the eye elongates, slowing down the progression of myopia. Your eye doctor will perform a contact lens fitting to determine the best lenses for your eyes and give you detailed instructions on how to use and care for them.
• MiyoSmart lenses: these spectacle lenses are specially designed for managing myopia progression. These lenses feature peripheral defocus rings around the centre of the lens, which helps focus light just in front of your peripheral retina, sending a signal to the eye that slows down myopia progression.
• Low-dose atropine eye drops: 0.01% atropine eye drops have been clinically proven to help slow the progression of myopia. Patients generally only need to apply 1 drop a day to get the full benefit of this treatment.
• MiSight Lenses: similar to MiyoSmart lenses, MiSight specialty contact lenses are designed with peripheral defocus rings around the centre of the lens. These rings help focus light just in front of the peripheral retina, signaling the eye to slow down myopia progression.
• Orthokeratology: this process (also known as Ortho-K) uses specially designed contact lenses to gradually reshape your eye as you sleep. Your eye doctor will assess your retinas and general ocular health, then map your corneas with a topographer and create custom lenses for your eyes. Research shows that Ortho-K can be an effective way to slow down myopia in children.
