Myopia management
Myopia, also known as “nearsightedness”, is a vision problem where you can see things up close clearly, but things far away look blurry. This happens because the eyeball is too long, so light focuses in front of the retina, which is the part at the back of the eye that senses light. Instead of focusing directly on the retina, the image is projected slightly in front of it. A child with myopia can see clearly when reading a book or looking at a phone – but words and objects look fuzzy on a blackboard, on television or when driving. But a pair of glasses aren’t the whole story.
The prevalence of Myopia has been rising significantly in the US. For children, myopia often worsens as they grow, and severe cases can lead to a higher risk of eye diseases later in life. If your child already wears glasses, there is something you can do help prevent their vision from getting worse.
Childhood onset myopia, often occurs when the eyeball grows too quickly or continues to grow after age 10-12, when it should typically stop growing. Recently, myopia in kids has been on the rise. For instance, in the US, the rate of myopia among 12-year-olds has doubled over the past six years. This increase is partly due to more time spent on screens and less time spent outside

What eye diseases are linked with Myopia?
Retinal detachment: Retinal detachment happens when the retina—the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye—becomes separated from its normal position. Depending on the extent of the detachment and how promptly it is addressed, it can lead to varying degrees of vision distortion or, in severe cases, permanent vision loss.
Myopia macular degeneration: Myopic macular degeneration affects the macula, which is the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. In individuals with severe myopia, where the eyeball is elongated, the macula can stretch and eventually tear. This results in a loss of clear central vision, similar to having a persistent smudge in the center of your field of view.
Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a condition in which fluid builds up in the eye, increasing pressure on the optic nerve and causing damage. It typically affects both eyes and begins with a gradual loss of peripheral vision, which can go unnoticed for an extended period. Without treatment, advanced glaucoma can result in vision loss or blindness.
What causes myopia progression?
Near-work: Increased time on close work, such as reading or using devices like smartphones and tablets, is linked to the development of myopia. With more young children using these handheld devices, the risk of developing myopia has risen.
Genetics: Myopia can be influenced by both environmental factors and genetics. A child with one myopic parent has a threefold higher risk of developing myopia, and this risk increases to six times if both parents are myopic. Additionally, research shows that myopia progresses faster and is more common in individuals of Asian descent
Under or over correction: Under or overcorrected vision, can worsen and speed up myopia. Not using the right glasses prescription or missing glasses can strain the eyes and lead to nearsightedness.
Not enough time outdoors: Studies suggest that playing outside as a child can lower the risk of developing myopia and may slow its progression. This effect may be due to the brighter outdoor light compared to indoor lighting. Engaging in sports and leisure activities outdoors seems to help reduce the likelihood of becoming short-sighted.
How can i slow my child's progression?
Look out for early signs: The earlier you catch signs of myopia, the more can be done to treat it and slow down progression.
Schedule regular eye exams: Younger children may not realize or be able to communicate that there is a problem with their vision, so regular eye tests are extremely important
take breaks when doing prolonged near work: take short breaks from close work every 20 minutes to relax the focusing muscles of the eyes. Keeping at least a forearm’s distance between their eyes and their close work at all times helps to reduce eye strain.
Limit screen time: Too much screen time is linked to myopia, eye strain and dry eye symptoms. School-aged children and teens should ideally not spend more than two hours per day outside of school on screen time.
Encourage outdoor activities: There is evidence to suggest that exposure to outdoor light is beneficial in slowing the onset and progression of myopia. Children should be encouraged to spend 90 minutes outdoors every day.
Ask your eye doctor about possible treatment options: Standard glasses and contact lenses can improve blurred vision but don’t prevent myopia from worsening. Special glasses and contact lenses designed for children and teens can help both correct vision and slow myopia progression. Additionally, atropine eye drops have been shown to slow myopia. Consult your eye care doctor to determine the best option for your child.
