Myopia (Nearsightedness) Eye Treatment

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen clearly. Early diagnosis and treatment of Myopia are crucial to prevent the progression of the condition and potential complications. At Shree Ramkrishna Netralaya, we offer comprehensive Myopia treatment and surgery, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools and personalized care to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.

Myopia (Nearsightedness) Diagnosis

Myopia is diagnosed through comprehensive eye exams, which include several specialized tests to assess the extent of the refractive error. These exams typically begin with a standard visual acuity test, where patients read letters on a chart to determine how well they can see at various distances.

Advanced diagnostic tests may also be used, such as corneal topography, which maps the curvature of the cornea, and optical coherence tomography (OCT), which provides detailed images of the retina. These tests help in creating a precise treatment plan tailored to the patient's specific needs.



Diagnostic Technologies for Myopia (Nearsightedness) Treatment

  • 1. Corneal Topography: This imaging technique creates a detailed map of the curvature of the cornea, essential for diagnosing and treating Myopia.
  • 2. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): A non-invasive imaging test that provides high-resolution images of the retina, helping in the diagnosis of Myopia-related complications.
  • 3. Auto-refractors and Phoropters: Devices that measure how light changes as it enters the eye, assisting in determining the correct prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
  • 4. Wavefront Aberrometry: Advanced technology that measures the way light passes through the eye, allowing for highly personalized vision correction.
  • 5. Pachymetry: This test measures the thickness of the cornea, which is vital when considering surgical options for Myopia correction.



Myopia Treatment Options

Shree Ramkrishna Netralaya offers a range of Myopia treatment options based on the patient’s age and the severity of the condition:

  • 1.Specialized Spectacles (DIMS/HALT/Myocare): These glasses slow down the progression of Myopia in children and young adults by controlling how light enters the eye.
  • 2.Bifocal / Progressive Glasses: These are used to provide clear vision at all distances, particularly for those with both Myopia and Presbyopia.
  • 3.Low-Dose Atropine Drops: A treatment that slows down the progression of Myopia in children by relaxing the eye’s focusing mechanism.
  • 4.Orthokeratology: A non-surgical method that involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight to reshape the cornea temporarily, providing clear vision during the day without glasses or contacts.

Preparing for Myopia Eye Surgery

  • Follow your doctor's instructions regarding medication and diet.
  • Ensure that you have a driver or escort if sedation is involved in your treatment.
  • Consistently use any prescribed eye drops or medications before the procedure.
  • Avoid wearing contact lenses for the recommended period before surgery.
  • Bring your previous eye prescriptions or medical records to your appointment.


Recovery After Myopia Eye Surgery

Recovery after Myopia surgery varies depending on the procedure performed. Most patients experience a gradual improvement in vision within the first few days post-surgery. During the recovery period, it’s essential to attend all follow-up appointments, where your doctor will monitor your healing process and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. Patients may be advised to wear protective glasses, avoid strenuous activities, and limit screen time to promote healing. Mild discomfort, dryness, or sensitivity to light are common during the initial recovery period and can be managed with prescribed eye drops or medications.

While Myopia cannot be cured, it can be effectively managed with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery to correct vision.

Is Myopia surgery safe?

Yes, Myopia surgery, such as LASIK for nearsightedness, is generally safe with a high success rate. However, like any surgery, it carries some risks, which should be discussed with your doctor.

How can I prevent Myopia from getting worse?

Regular eye exams, proper use of corrective lenses, and treatments like low-dose atropine drops can help slow the progression of Myopia.

What is the recovery time after Myopia surgery?

Most patients recover within a few days to a week, but it may take a few weeks for the vision to stabilize fully.
