Effective Myopia Management Solutions in Calgary
At Foresight Eyecare, we use evidence-based methods to help slow myopia progression in children and adults. Our approach includes customized treatments designed to suit individual needs, making myopia management accessible and effective for patients of all ages.
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without glasses or contact lenses. This non-surgical option is ideal for children and adults, offering a safe, convenient way to manage myopia progression.
- Atropine Eye Drops: Low-dose atropine eye drops have shown success in slowing the progression of myopia in children. When used as part of a myopia management plan, these drops help reduce the eye’s growth rate, ultimately lowering the risk of high myopia and its associated complications.
- Multifocal Contact Lenses: Multifocal contact lenses provide clear vision at different distances and have been shown to slow myopia progression. These lenses are especially suitable for active children and adults who prefer not to wear glasses throughout the day.
ZEISS MyoCare Spectacle Lenses
Featuring a unique design that corrects distance vision, ZEISS MyoCare lenses target peripheral vision, a key factor in slowing the elongation of the eye. They are ideal for children, providing them with the freedom and comfort of wearing glasses while effectively managing myopia. By distributing light more evenly across the retina, these lenses reduce strain and encourage healthier eye development.
Introducing the Topcon MYAH for Axial Length Measurement
At Foresight Eyecare, we're excited to offer myopia management with the Topcon MYAH unit. This advanced device measures the length of the eye, known as "axial length," which is the distance from the front to the back of the eye. Tracking this measurement is essential for understanding how myopia (nearsightedness) progresses. With the Topcon MYAH, we can accurately monitor eye growth over time and adjust treatment plans to better manage your or your child’s vision.
Benefits of the Topcon MYAH in Myopia Management:
- Precision Tracking: The MYAH provides highly accurate axial length measurements, giving us detailed insights into myopia progression.
- Treatment Customization: With precise data, we can create individualized treatment plans and make adjustments as necessary to support long-term eye health.
- Enhanced Patient Care: Regular monitoring with the Topcon MYAH allows us to take a proactive approach, catching changes early to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.
