Myopia or near sightedness is a refractive error of the eye that causes distant objects to appear blurry while nearby objects remain clear. This occurs when the shape of the eye is too elongated or the curvature of the cornea is too steep, which causes light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
While the exact cause of myopia is unknown, research suggests that genetics and environmental factors play a significant role in its development. Some of the most common risk factors for myopia include:
While myopia cannot be cured, there are several ways to manage and reduce its progression:
Tucson Optometry Clinic currently offers both MiSight contact lenses and low-dose atropine therapy. These two treatments may be provided separately or as a combination therapy to slow the progression of myopia in children. If you or your child has myopia, please schedule an appointment by calling 520 885 2052 to find out if you would be a good candidate for treatment.
We can help you determine the best course of action based on your individual needs and medical history.
