👁️ SLOW MYOPIA PROGRESSION IN CHILDREN WITH ORTHO-K LENSES

Did you know your child’s nearsightedness (myopia) can get worse as they grow? Left untreated, it may lead to serious eye problems in the future — including a higher risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

That’s where Ortho-K comes in. These special contact lenses are worn at night while your child sleeps, gently reshaping the front of the eye so they can see clearly without glasses or lenses during the day.

✅ Drug-free
✅ Non-surgical
✅ Proven to slow down myopia progression in children

Ortho-K is safe, effective, and child-friendly — especially when started early. If your child’s prescription increases every year, now is the perfect time to consider Ortho-K.

Corneal Crosslinking Largely Safe in Kids with Thin Corneas
Although this was the case in a recent investigation, clinicians should still be aware of the few adverse events that were seen—scarring and microbial keratitis.

In the present study, corneal curvature stability was achieved in a majority of eyes. Of the 21 included eyes, Kmax remained stable in 71.4% with either a change of less than 1.00D (33.3%) or a decrease or flattening of more than 1.00D (38.0%). As well, K2 of 61.9% of eyes had either a change of less than 1.00D (23.8%) or had a median decrease in K2 of more than 1.00D (38.1%).

SCREEN TIME. Part 1.

Sorry to be party poopers.. but really, while you have absolute control of your baby or toddler’s life, and they are not subject to peer pressure yet, don’t make iPads, tabs or phones a part of their life. So many things fascinate them, let them enjoy the simple beauty and discoveries in life .That means parents have to put away that phone during play and dinner time too , unfortunately. Monkey see , monkey do 🙊

Q: Do people with diabetes really need an eye exam every year?

A: Yes. Diabetes can lead to diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. Early stages might not present noticeable symptoms, but as it progresses, it can cause vision loss or blindness. Annual eye exams allow for early detection and timely treatment, significantly reducing the risk of severe complications.
