🌟 Keeping Your Ortho-K Lenses Spotless🌟

At our clinic, we understand how important it is to maintain perfect hygiene for your ortho-k retainers and treatment. That’s why we trust ClearCare® Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution! Here’s how it works for your lenses:
📌Thorough Cleaning: Clear Care® uses hydrogen peroxide to remove harmful germs, debris, and protein deposits, keeping your lenses clean and safe.
📌Bubbling Action: Watch as the solution forms gentle bubbles in its special case—this activates a deep clean that multi-purpose solutions can’t match.
📌Safe & Preservative-Free: After soaking for at least 6 hours, the peroxide is neutralized into a gentle saline, making your lenses ready and safe for comfortable wear.
📌Special Lens Case: Always use the Clear Care® case with the platinum disc to ensure proper neutralization and optimal disinfection.

Today, we authorized the marketing of the first eyeglass lenses to slow the progression of nearsightedness in children 6 to 12 years old at the initiation of treatment. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-marketing-first-eyeglass-lenses-slow-progression-pediatric-myopia

The eyeglass lenses may reduce the likelihood of severe eyesight issues later in adult life and carry lower risks than the currently approved treatment alternative for slowing progression of myopia.

💡UNDERSTANDING PROGRESSIVE MYOPIA💡

🧐 Parents - does your child often need stronger glasses to see better in the long distance - every year?

This can be known as progressive myopia, and it’s more than a mild inconvenience….

Myopia (short-sightedness) that progresses unchecked can lead to serious eye health complications later in life, such as:

‼️Retinal detachment
‼️Cataracts
‼️Glaucoma …. Or … Even …
‼️🚨Vision loss / Blindness 🚨

✅ But there is GOOD news:

💡Modern myopia treatments can slow or even stabilise this progression…..

👁️ Options like low-dose atropine eye drops, special glasses, specialised soft contact lenses or orthokeratology lenses (Ortho-K) are clinically proven to help protect your child’s long-term vision.

🔑 Don’t wait until the prescription jumps again - early action is key!

For more information, speak to your regular eye health professional and also follow the link below, where you’ll find an excellent article on our website www.mykidsvision.org that delves deeper into this!

👀 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. 😳
