Using the latest technologies to reduce the rapid progression of myopia in children

Home Using the latest technologies to reduce the rapid progression of myopia in children

Dr. Mohamed Sharara's clinic uses the latest technologies to reduce the progression of myopia in children, through:

Orthokeratology:
Rigid contact lenses worn overnight temporarily reshape the cornea, allowing children to see clearly during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Studies have shown that this technology can slow the progression of myopia in children.

Multifocal Soft Contact Lenses:
Soft contact lenses specifically designed for children with myopia.
These lenses provide clear vision for both distances and near distances and may also help slow the progression of myopia.

Low-dose Atropine Eye Drops:
These low-dose atropine eye drops are used to slow the progression of myopia in children.
Atropine drops relax the eye muscles, reducing eye strain and helping slow eye growth.

Specialized Eyeglass Technology:
Special eyeglasses are available designed to slow the progression of myopia in children.
These glasses change the way light focuses on the retina, which may help slow eye growth.

Modern Measurement Technologies:
The clinic uses advanced and accurate measuring devices to accurately diagnose and monitor the progression of myopia in children.
These devices help determine the appropriate treatment for each child and monitor the effectiveness of the treatment.

In addition to these technologies, Dr. Mohamed Sharara focuses on:

Educating parents and children about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, including spending enough time outdoors and limiting the time children spend using electronic devices.

Regular Follow-ups: To monitor the progression of myopia and adjust treatment as needed.

It is important to note that the best way to prevent the progression of myopia in children is through a comprehensive approach that combines medical technologies and lifestyle changes.
