It’s #myopiamonday This patient has been wearing ortho-k lenses for a couple of years, following the footsteps of her older sibling. It was an easy task for her after watching her sibling from the sidelines for years. Did you know ... There is a genetic component to myopia... If both parents are myopic, their child will be more likely to develop myopia than a child with one myopic parent. We often manage myopia for siblings with myopic parents. posted with permission #myopia #orthok #myopiamanagement #myopiacontrol #nearsightedness #optometrist #vancouveroptometrist #eyedoctor #childrensvision #childeyeexam #yvrmoms #eyehealth

It’s #myopiamonday This patient uses low-dose atropine eye drops every night to slow down the progression of nearsightedness. By using the drops at night, it helps minimize the patient’s potential side effects during the day which may include sensitivity to lights and decreased near vision. Did you know ... The mechanism of action of how atropine slows down the progression of myopia is still unclear. It’s believed to signal the retina or sclera to inhibit the elongation of the eye. posted with permission . . . #myopia #nearisghtedness #myopiamanagement #myopiacontrol #myopiacontrolpractice #pediatriceyecare #childeyeexam #optometry #yvrmoms #yvrparents #atropine #lowdoseatropine
