Expert Myopia Management for Children & Young Adults

Myopia, commonly known as short-sightedness or near-sightedness, is rapidly increasing among children and teenagers across the world. Excessive screen exposure, prolonged near work, reduced outdoor activities, and changing lifestyle habits have significantly contributed to the rise in childhood myopia.

In myopia, distant objects appear blurred while near vision remains relatively clear. However, progressive myopia is more than just an increasing spectacle number — it can affect long-term eye health if not managed properly.

At Ahuja Eye Centre, our dedicated Myopia Clinic focuses not only on correcting vision but also on scientifically controlling the progression of myopia through advanced diagnostic evaluation, personalised treatment plans, and evidence-based management strategies.

Why is Myopia Control Important?

Many parents believe frequent spectacle changes are normal in growing children. However, rapidly increasing myopia may increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.

High myopia is associated with an increased risk of:

• Retinal thinning and retinal detachment
• Glaucoma
• Early cataract development
• Myopic macular degeneration
• Permanent vision-related complications

Early diagnosis and timely intervention can significantly help in slowing myopia progression and protecting future eye health.

Comprehensive Myopia Evaluation

At Ahuja Eye Centre, every child undergoes a detailed and comprehensive eye examination to understand the exact cause and progression pattern of myopia.

Our advanced myopia assessment may include:

• Vision testing and cycloplegic refraction
• Axial length measurement
• Corneal and ocular surface evaluation
• Binocular vision assessment
• Screen-time and lifestyle analysis
• Detailed retinal examination

Based on the findings, our specialists create a customised myopia management plan tailored to the child’s age, lifestyle, and eye condition.

Advanced Myopia Control Treatments

We offer modern, research-based, and scientifically proven methods for effective myopia management.

Low-Dose Atropine Therapy

Low-dose atropine eye drops are one of the most effective treatments available for controlling myopia progression in selected children.

These specially formulated eye drops are:

• Safe and well tolerated
• Scientifically proven
• Carefully monitored by our specialists
• Helpful in slowing spectacle number progression

Myopia Control Spectacles

Specially designed spectacle lenses can help reduce eye strain and support better myopia control while maintaining clear and comfortable vision.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Guidance

Selected patients may benefit from specially designed overnight contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea and help manage myopia progression effectively.

Our specialists carefully evaluate whether Ortho-K is suitable for each patient.

Lifestyle & Visual Habit Counselling

Healthy visual habits play an important role in slowing the progression of myopia.

At Ahuja Eye Centre, we strongly encourage:

• Increased outdoor activities
• Reduced and controlled screen time
• Proper reading posture and viewing distance
• Regular breaks during near work
• Balanced visual habits for children

These simple yet effective changes can make a significant difference in long-term eye health.

Regular Monitoring & Follow-Up

Myopia management requires continuous monitoring and timely adjustments in treatment.

Children enrolled in our Myopia Clinic are reviewed periodically to assess:

• Changes in spectacle number
• Eye growth and axial length progression
• Treatment response
• Visual comfort and performance

This allows us to optimise treatment and provide the best possible long-term outcomes.
