What Causes Myopia?
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error that causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up objects remain clear.
The exact cause of myopia is not fully understood, but several factors contribute to its development. Genetics is a significant factor, as myopia tends to run in families. Environmental factors also play a role, particularly excessive near-work and prolonged screen time. Spending time engaged in activities like reading, using digital devices, or focusing on close-up tasks can contribute to the progression of myopia.

The Brilliant Futures Myopia Management Program (MiSight® 1-day lenses): CooperVision’s comprehensive, FDA-approved myopia management system includes daily disposable contacts, office visits, A-scan measurements, and clinical support.
Corneal reshaping (orthokeratology): Specialized contact lenses gently reshape the cornea when worn overnight.
Distance-centered multifocal contacts: Like standard soft contacts, these are used by patients with limited amounts of astigmatism.
Atropine: Medicated drops or ointment applied once daily can slow myopia progression, which can be successful with young patients.
Multifocal glasses: Children with eye positioning problems (esophoria) or patients who cannot successfully use a contact lens may respond to this treatment.
