Myopia is becoming increasingly prevalent, especially among children. With the rise in digital screen time and reduced outdoor activities, more young individuals are developing myopia at an earlier age. While corrective glasses or contact lenses can help with vision, they do not slow myopia’s progression. Early detection and proactive intervention are essential to managing myopia effectively, reducing the risk of long-term complications such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic maculopathy.
Ortho-K, short for orthokeratology, is a non-surgical, overnight solution for myopia management that allows you to correct your vision while you sleep. By wearing custom-designed contact lenses at night, Ortho-K gently reshapes the cornea, the front surface of the eye, to correct nearsightedness, so you can see clearly during the day without needing glasses or daytime contacts.
Dry eyes can cause discomfort and affect your daily life. Imagine a therapy that uses light to bring relief. This is where Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy comes in. Like many people who experience dry eyes, you might wonder how it works. Let us explore how IPL therapy can help with dry eyes.
Myopia is a refractive error that causes distant objects to appear blurry while close objects remain clear. It is a common condition that often develops during childhood and tends to progress until early adulthood. Understanding myopia in children is crucial for parents and caregivers in order to effectively manage this condition.
Dry eye is a condition where your eyes do not produce enough tears for adequate lubrication, leading to discomfort, blurred vision, and sometimes severe complications. The link between skin rejuvenation and dry eye may not be immediately apparent, however innovative treatments such as Lumecca-I Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Forma-I Radiofrequency (RF) are bridging the gap, offering benefits for both skin rejuvenation and dry eye relief.
