1. What is myopia, and how does it affect vision?Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. It occurs when the eye grows too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
2. At what age does myopia typically develop?Myopia often develops during childhood and tends to progress until the late teenage years or early adulthood. However, it can also develop later in life.
3. Can myopia be prevented?While myopia cannot always be prevented, certain strategies such as spending more time outdoors, reducing near work activities, and maintaining good visual habits may help slow its progression.
4. What are the risks associated with high myopia?High myopia, or severe nearsightedness, is associated with an increased risk of developing sight-threatening conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
5. What is myopia management, and how does it work?Myopia management involves various treatments and strategies aimed at slowing down the progression of myopia, particularly in children and adolescents. These treatments may include specialized contact lenses, orthokeratology, and prescription medications.
6. Is myopia management suitable for everyone?Myopia management may be recommended for individuals with progressive myopia, particularly children and teenagers whose myopia is worsening over time. However, the suitability of treatment depends on various factors, and a comprehensive eye examination is necessary to determine the best course of action.
7. Are there any side effects associated with myopia management treatments?While most myopia management treatments are considered safe, they may carry some potential side effects such as temporary discomfort, dryness, or increased sensitivity to light. These side effects are usually mild and can be managed with proper care.
8. How often should myopia management progress be monitored?Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the progress of myopia management treatments and make any necessary adjustments. The frequency of follow-up visits may vary depending on the type of treatment and individual response.
9. Can myopia management reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses?While myopia management treatments can help slow down the progression of myopia, they may not eliminate the need for corrective lenses entirely. However, they may reduce the degree of myopia and the associated risks of high myopia-related complications.
