Myopia Management in Phoenix and Scottsdale
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common eye problem. Many people start experiencing symptoms as children, but it’s also common for adults to have visual issues seeing distant objects. At Optical Expressions, our team has years of experience helping patients manage myopia.
How Myopia Management Works
Myopia can worsen as you age. Symptoms can start early and continue until the eyes stop growing. As the eyes change, vision worsens because your natural lens’s shape changes. One of the ways we can treat myopia is through special contact lenses called Paragon CRT® Contact Lenses.
This treatment is part of the Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) category, and it’s a lens that you can wear overnight to gently correct the curvature of the cornea. By morning, the lenses are removed, and you’ll have clear vision without needing eyeglasses or contacts during the day.
Improving Vision and Quality of Life
One of the Ortho-K treatments we offer myopia patients is Paragon CRT®.
Paragon CRT® isn’t just for adults with myopia. It can have a major impact on your child’s quality of life. quality of life. They’ll no longer need sports goggles, glasses, or daytime contacts to enjoy their everyday activities.
