Stop progression of myopia = Myopia Control
Myopia is a condition in which close objects appear clearly, but far one’s don’t. Myopia control provides methods to stop or slow the progression of myopia
Myopia is a common vision problem in childhood. The difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly is affecting daily activities negatively. In most people, myopia progresses after the age of 20.
Myopia Control: Advantages of early prophylaxis
Myopia not only causes blurry vision, but also other health risks. It usually goes hand in hand with elongation of the eye, which causes increased pressure on the retina. As a result, retinal detachment may occur after some time. Overall, the risk of retinal diseases is increased with myopia.
Myopia could negatively impact career choices, for example for pilots and police officers. Myopia control helps limiting the risk for such restrictions. In addition, retinal laser surgery becomes riskier with severe Myopia – another reason why early myopia control is highly recommended.
Genetics but also regular near work and retinal stress working on a computer, tablets, smartphones and so on, the lack of daylight and artificial light are among the main risk factors for myopia.
Myopia control: optimal procedure for prophylaxis
In recent years, numerous scientists, doctors, optometrists, and opticians have been working intensively on this topic conducting clinical studies and practical treatments. The results show that it is possible to stop or at least slow the negative development of myopia significantly.
As a specialist for contact lenses, we rely on various proven procedures. We have been active in this field since 2003 and bring the competences to choose the right treatment for you.
In orthokeratology (ortho-k) specially designed hard lenses are used to temporarily reshape the cornea and thereby improve vision. The contact lenses used for this purpose are also called night lenses. Soft or hard contact lenses with special optics can also be used. Special eyeglasses that stop myopia development are an alternative to ortho-k contact lenses.
Stop myopia – with special eyeglass lenses
Glasses with special lenses are as well a convenient method for treating progressive myopia.

Myopia control: why prophylaxis is so important
Early treatment of myopia (myopia management) can slow its progression and reduce the risk of other retinal diseases.
Stop myopia – with special eye drops: atropine
Atropine therapies are possible under ophthalmologic care. Atropine is mainly used to determine the exact refractive power of the eye by interfering with the autofocus of the crystalline lens and enlarging the pupil. Regarding myopia control, only a highly diluted solution is used, which has no effect on everyday life. This method is mainly used in children. We will be happy to refer you to a specialist.
