There are multiple factors that can cause an increase in myopic prescription. They range from genetics to environmental influences. Having one parent that is myopic increases risk of a child also becoming myopic. That risk is further increased if both parents are nearsighted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/7181e813-65ba-4274-93a1-26477b2e891b/Babies-screen-time.jpg How Does This Work? - Digital device use. Extended screen use has been shown to increase myopia. Given today’s age in which most of a child’s schoolwork is done on the screen it is hard to avoid excessive screen use. Between 18 and 24 months screen time should be limited to watching educational programming with a caregiver. For children 2-5, limit non-educational screen time to about 1 hour per weekday and 3 hours on the weekend days. For ages 6 and older, encourage healthy habits and limit activities that include screens. Maximum 2 hours per day of leisure screen time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/f98caf81-b462-407c-843f-ac52f55666a2/mpe_01.png How Does This Work? - Myopic defocus. The idea of peripheral defocus of light. Typically traditional glasses or contact lenses cause hyperopic peripheral defocus (behind the eye). The eye lengthens because of the defocus, which causes increases in the nearsighted prescription. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/8bdf8b56-e973-497a-a4ed-377079ee52f8/5471047557_4dc13f5376_n.jpg How Does This Work? - When Should We Start Myopia Management. A change of 0.50D every 6 months or a change of axial length >0.22mm per year is considered to be fast progression.

The flap is created either with a microkeratome (blade) or with a femtosecond laser (bladeless or intraLASIK) that has precision down to the micron. the flap is lifted by the surgeon and the prescription is etched into your cornea using an excimer laser. Healing time is typically short and you should be back to seeing 20/20 a day or two after surgery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/67763065-61c8-4c46-9efc-4d7c8a0aeeaa/prk-v-lasik.jpg Laser Refractive Surgery - PRK. Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a similar procedure to LASIK except there is no flap creation. This procedure is good for patients with thin or irregularly shaped corneas or corneal scars. Instead of the flap the top protective layer of the cornea the epithelium is removed. The same excimer laser is used to etch the prescription into the cornea. After the procedure a bandage contact lens is placed on the eye to allow the epithelium to regenerate. The bandage contact lens is removed 3-4 days after surgery. The healing process is a bit longer and can take a few weeks to a few months to achieve 20/20 vision. https://myeyeclinic.ca/cataract-surgery-1 daily 0.75 2022-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/1657472438998-CNH2AHR3CRFY64OCK7RQ/what-causes-cataracts-570x570.jpg Cataract Surgery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/1657476155580-WSLWBZ4CXSP9I8I0QEF1/cataractLens-610230832-650x450.jpg Cataract Surgery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/1658411857609-FDJP5L3R1OO6UYV4W99U/vision-cactaract.jpg Cataract Surgery https://myeyeclinic.ca/services daily 0.75 2023-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/1689603789690-UMFMNK3HJR2A89CQTJ63/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/1689603975288-JL2L4ZZGL76F3N3M4UZH/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b654af64e3a822f7b801cd/1689604237490-H0KNDZ6IHWQCLYAOC8EC/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Services
