What is Ptosis?

This is the drooping of the upper eyelid present either since birth or that develops later in life. If severe, it hampers a person’s vision.

What is Entropion or Ectropion?

These are abnormalities of the lid with either the in rolling (Entropion) of the lid margin or its out rolling (ectropion). These cause constant watering and irritation of the eyes.

What is Thyroid Eye Disease?

In those with abnormal thyroid levels, changes occur in the tissues and muscles surrounding our eyes causing them to bulge. In some cases, the optic nerve may also be compressed causing a decrease in the vision.

What is Orbital Fractures?

In case of injuries to the face the walls of the socket holding the eye are fractured leading to displacement of the eye.

Inability to close the eyes following facial palsy is treated with gold implant in the upper lid to aid in closure of the lids.

Cosmetic surgeries such as scar revision surgery with Z or V-Y plasty, with or without grafting and orbital decompression to reduce the forward bulging of the eyes in thyroid eye disease are also performed at our hospital.

What Is Myopia?

Myopia is a common refractive error where someone has blurry vision from far distances, but close-up objects appear clearly. Light entering the eye doesn’t bend properly, causing it to focus in front of your retina.

Myopia typically develops in childhood, where it progresses until early adulthood. In rare cases, myopia may continue to progress in adulthood.Your child may have several signs they’re experiencing vision problems. However, children may assume everyone sees as they do, so watch for signs of myopia in your child, such as:

• Squinting excessively
• Having headaches
• Having strained eyes
• Blinking persistently
• Seeming unaware of far-away objects
• Rubbing their eyes frequently
• Sitting close to digital screens or in the front of the classroom

Someone with myopia has differently shaped eyes than someone without a refractive error. Myopic eyes are typically too long or have a steep curvature, causing light to bend incorrectly as it enters the eye.

Besides eye shape, other factors may contribute to myopia, including:

• Reduced time spent outdoors
• Increased time in front of screens
• Family history

The eyes continue to grow as your child does, which can cause myopia to worsen with time.

High Myopia

Myopia can worsen as your child grows, causing them to need heavier prescriptions as an adult. When myopia progresses into a more severe form, it becomes high myopia.

High myopia increases your child’s risk of significant eye diseases in adulthood, including:

• Cataracts
• Glaucoma
• Retinal detachment
• Myopic macular degeneration

Myopia can progress significantly as your child grows. However, specialized treatments can help slow or prevent myopic progression

While there is no cure for myopia, your eye doctor can help control its progression. Myopia control focuses on slowing eyeball growth to prevent this condition from worsening. Standard single-vision glasses can only help your child see better, so other treatments are necessary to help control myopic progression.

Many myopia control treatments are easy to adapt to, coming in contact lenses, glasses, or eye drops. Your optometrist can recommend the best treatment for your child’s vision needs.

There is no wrong choice when choosing a myopia control treatment for your child. Your eye doctor will provide their recommendations on the most effective options for your child.

Myopia control treatments include specialized eyewear, contact lenses, atropine drops, and environmental changes.

Specialized Eyewear

Several types of specialized eyewear exist for controlling myopic progression. A common treatment option is the use of MyoVision glasses.myovision lenses help correct and control myopia, helping your child see better while slowing eyeball growth. They utilize peripheral defocus to help peripheral light focus on the retina instead of behind it. Changing how this light focuses slows eyeball growth because the eye isn’t trying to accommodate peripheral light entering the eye.

Atropine drops

Low-dose atropine eye drops can help slow myopic progression by almost 50%. It works by interacting with the eye’s receptors that control eye growth in different tissues.

Many doses of atropine exist, but the most commonly used doses for myopia control are 0.05% to 0.01%. These doses minimize the risk of side effects while helping slow myopic progression.

Environmental Changes

Your child’s lifestyle can affect myopia. Children who spend more time outside can reduce myopic progression. Aim to have your child spend a couple of hours outside every day.

Another possible cause of myopia is time spent on digital devices. The amount of time your child spends using these devices may affect myopic progression. Speaking with your eye doctor about your child’s digital device usage can help.

Often children may complain about visual discomfort during activities. Screening camps in schools help pick up refractive errors and other eye conditions. Parents may notice some habits which may indicate that the child has an eye problem.

Children should get their vision screened at these stages :

• Once between ages 6 and 12 months old
• Once between ages 12 months and 3 years old
• Once between ages 3 and 5 years old
• Every 1 to 2 years after 5 years old
