Short Sightedness Treatment That Can Save Your Sight!

Short sightedness treatment is becoming a key issue in our modern society due to the marked increase in short sightedness or myopia, particularly among the young and teens. With the rise of ipods, iphones, computers and the internet the sad fact is that we expect to see myopia increase, and most Optometrists seem powerless to offer any short sightedness treatment that can limit the growth of the condition.

                 
Traditional Treatment Makes It Worse!

Traditional Myopia Treatment usually involves distance glasses of contact lenses, both of which frequently cause an increase in the short sighted prescription, notably for 7-21 year olds. The result is full time glasses, thick lenses and the risk of numerous and often catastrophic eye issues like retinal detachment and macular degeneration!

When traditional lenses are prescribed, they should be used for distance purposes only, and studies show that any reading done through the lenses (copying off the board for example) will tend to increase the short sightedness prescription, meaning that every trip to the Optometrist yields stronger and thicker lenses.

Parents who are short sighted are up to 5 times more likely to have short sighted children, so continuously making the distance prescription stronger and thicker is a very real problem.

Why Does Most Myopia Treatment Make it Worse?

The fact is that traditional short sightedness treatment only corrects the condition after is has happened, it does not stop it from getting worse! In fact, correcting the condition can make the progression into short sightedness faster, which is exactly the opposite to what we want to do!

I was very unhappy as a Optometrist about seeing short sight increasing in my young patients, but for many years now I have been pursuing Short Sightedness Treatment that actually slows, stops or even reverses that shortsightedness in children.

Despite our near centered environment, using state-of-the-art technology and ideas we can now provide short sightedness treatment that stops the progression into thicker lenses, and at times even reverses it!

Short Sightedness Treatment That Stops the Progression

I have two tools which are yielding stunning results in controlling the progression of myopia. The first is the fitting of special bifocal glasses, and the second involves a specialized form of contact lenses.

Both techniques are firmly grounded in science, and have an amazing track record as myopia control treatment that actually slows, stops or even reverses the slide into myopia that many children face today.

So if you are shortsighted, please do not settle for tradtional Short Sight Treatment. Find a Behavioural Optometrist and save your child from the distance blur that you suffer, and the earlier you do it the better results we get!

Don't settle for pushing your child into full time glasses! Avoid the old fashioned distance only treatment and discover the short sightedness treatment that can save your child's sight!
