👀 What We’re Seeing: The Rise of Myopia

Myopia, or “near-sightedness,” is more than just blurry distance vision—it’s a progressive condition that alters the shape of the eye and increases the risk of serious eye diseases like glaucoma and retinal detachment. 📉
While genetics play a role, environmental factors like prolonged screen time, reading, and limited outdoor exposure are major contributors. In fact, myopia cases in the U.S. surged by 66% between 1971 and 2004. 😳

While myopia management is an important and timely topic, Ortho-K goes beyond that. The younger generation needs to learn this, and the older generation needs to remember it.
Thanks to all contributors to this issue. Paul Gifford Asif Iqbal Steve Vincent Randy Kojima Aaron Wolf, OD, FAAO, FSLS, FIAOMC

The latest issue of Contact Lens Update is now available! Issue 82 is all about Ortho-K for refractive error correction

While often associated with myopia control, ortho-k lenses were originally designed to correct myopia and astigmatism. Their broader applications, including the correction of myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia, and presbyopia, are now less frequently discussed. By reshaping the cornea overnight, ortho-k provides clear daytime vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Paul Gifford provides an overview of ortho-k’s evolution, benefits beyond myopia control, and its effectiveness, safety, and clinical relevance for both children and adults. Asif Iqbal and Steve Vincent review a study on how overnight ortho-k influences corneal tissue thickness in adult myopes. Aaron Wolf shares a case report on hyperopic orthokeratology with presbyopia, highlighting lens design, patient outcomes, and the potential of customized ortho-k lenses. Randy Kojima presents a study showing that although the majority of new ortho-k patients are children and teenagers for myopia management, 14.5% were adults up to the age of 54, highlighting the broader benefits of ortho-k beyond myopia control.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month! Extensive UV exposure increases the risk of macular degeneration, cataracts, and other UV-related eye diseases. Adults and children alike need to be protected from damaging UV rays.

Remind your patients of the importance of protecting their eyes from the sun by wearing sunglasses with 100% UV protection when spending time outside.
