Myopia Management

Myopia management encompasses a suite of evidence-based strategies designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness, particularly in children and adolescents, where unchecked myopia can escalate into high myopia and heighten risks for serious eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment later in life—amid a global epidemic now affecting over 2.6 billion people by 2025 projections. Tailored interventions include low-dose atropine eye drops, which recent FDA approvals for innovative formulations like SYD-101 have made even more effective and tolerable, specialized soft contact lenses such as MiSight 1 Day for daily wear, orthokeratology lenses for overnight reshaping, and progressive or bifocal eyeglasses to reduce eye strain from near work. These approaches, backed by the latest International Myopia Institute guidelines, can curb axial elongation by up to 50-60% in many cases, fostering healthier visual development and delaying prescription increases.
