How to slow down Myopia
Commonly known as short-sightedness or
nearsightedness, Myopia is a growing problem that
occurs in childhood. Studies predict that nearly
half of the population in the world will get
their vision affected by high myopia by 2050.

Myopia which mostly starts developing in
childhood by lifestyle, family history or both is
a condition of eyeballs growing too long to make
distance vision blurry. The condition tends to
worsen as the childs eyes continue to grow as
they get older and impact the everyday health and
future eye health.

High myopia

• Ophthalmology researchers have found hope in
  managing myopia during childhood with improved
  strategies. Children who develop myopia in early
  childhood, especially before the age of 10 are at
  higher risk of progressing into high myopia.
  Childhood eye care is nowadays focusing primarily
  on Myopia management or Myopia treatment as many
  parents are concerned about slowing down the
  onset and worsening of Myopia in early
  adulthood. 
• Listed below are some important measures to
  prevent or slow down the onset and growth of
  Myopia in children

Put the devices away

• Studies have shown that the rise in myopia cases
  are primarily due to changes in the lifestyle of
  children.
• Todays children are centred around gadget
  screens for education and infotainment from a
  very young age.
• It isnt practical to advise children to keep
  their eyes away from gadget screens, but parents
  have to limit childrens screen time and ensure
  regular intervals.

Send kids outside

• In research conducted in Boston, the progression
  of myopia was found to be 3 to 4 times faster in
  winter than in summer. Scientists suggest that
  the cause of myopias progression can also be due
  to the light exposure levels. Parents should
  prioritize letting children engage in outdoor
  activities whenever possible so that they can get
  a quick recovery from a lot of time indoors
  exposed to blue light. Various meta-analysis data
  shows that kids who spend more than an average of
  3.7 hours per week outdoors than those with
  myopia had normal vision or hyperopia. This shows
  that the onset and progress of myopia can be
  reduced by 15 to 40 per cent by increasing the
  outdoor activity of children. The components in
  sunlight will activate the amount of Vitamin D in
  children, thus impacting the healthy growth of
  the eye. While staying outdoors kids will be
  engaged in more distant eyesight, thus reducing
  the strain for their eyes.

Ask your doctor about ways to manage myopia

• Many eye specialists are prescribing regular
  glasses and contact lenses for children for their
  clear vision but they dont help in the
  prevention of myopia. Children should need
  stronger prescriptions for spectacles and eye
  drops as they continue to grow older in order to
  slow the progression of myopia.  
• Myopia treatment is achieved by prescribing
  atropine eye drops to slow down myopia or special
  types of spectacles and contact lenses. At Dr
  Shalini Jains Samyak Eye Clinic in Ghaziabad,
  children are mostly prescribed ortho-k lenses and
  multifocal contact lenses among a few other types
  of contact lenses depending on childrens eye
  health condition. Ortho-k lenses are prescribed
  for slowing down the development of myopia while
  children with high myopia are prescribed
  multifocal contact lenses to slow the progression
  of shortsightedness as an effective treatment
  option.

Light-dopamine

• Among all the theories the light-dopamine theory
  is looked up most which state that bright outdoor
  helps the retina to release dopamine, which in
  turn signals the sclera to inhibit axial growth.
  Laboratory experiment using an animal model of
  myopia in chicken and non-human primates, their
  protective effectiveness against myopia was
  blocked when the effects of dopamine were blocked
  with a dopamine antagonist. This hints at the
  importance of optimal dopamine levels in
  preventing myopia. 
• With the changes in childrens lifestyles and
  increased visual stress, it is important to start
  myopia management for children as early as
  possible. Studies indicate that blurred distance
  vision and glasses prescription will continue to
  worsen when a child develops myopia early. There
  is no time to wait to start myopia management as
  the condition of every child will progress or
  worsen with the onset.

Myopia treatment

• According to Dr Shalini, a childs eye test needs
  to be done for the first time between the age of
  6 months or 1 year, once in 6 months till the age
  of 19 and then followed by annual eye exams. She
  says that many parents at her eye centre near
  Vaishali still think that their child is too
  young to start a myopia control strategy. Parents
  wont have a problem with getting their kids to
  have eye drops to slow down myopia or wear their
  glasses or contact lenses, once they are aware of
  the consequences. At Dr Shalini Jains Samyak eye
  care clinic near Vaishali children get the right
  myopia treatment depending on their age, eye
  condition, family history and lifestyle. Dr
  Shalini recommends contact lenses to be safe for
  children, especially between the age of 8-12.
