Myopia & Children Eye Care | Saluja Eye Care Center, Indore
The Saluja Myopia Clinic (Comprehensive Program)
1) Baseline & Progression Analysis
– Cycloplegic refraction, binocular vision status, axial length tracking, lifestyle & family-history risk assessment.
– Follow-up cadence and “step-up/step-down” protocol per IMI review schedules.
2) Proven Myopia-Control Options (tailored)
– Low-dose atropine (unit-dose preferred; monitored for dose/cessation/rebound).
– Optical interventions: DIMS / aspherical-lenslet spectacles, daily-disposable myopia-control soft lenses (e.g., MiSight®), Orthokeratology (Ortho-K).
– Lifestyle Rx: 1–2 hours/day outdoors; manage near-work and screens; classroom/desk ergonomics.
3) Monitoring & Outcomes
– Axial length/refraction checkpoints every 6–12 months, sooner if rapid change; adjust or combine modalities when control is insufficient.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Classic & Modern (Software-Aided) Care
What we do
– Glasses/contact lenses, patching and atropine penalization (gold-standard care).
– Software-Aided / Binocular Digital Therapy: VR/eye-tracking/dichoptic game-based programs that train both eyes together and can improve compliance.
Key point: Best results occur before ~8 years, but treatment can still help later with tailored protocols.
Refractive Errors in Children (Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism)
– Presentations: sitting close to TV, squinting, copying difficulty in class.
– Diagnosis is simple and child-friendly; treatment with spectacles/contact lenses; myopia cases considered for control pathway above.
Allergic Conjunctivitis in Children
– Very common in India; triggers include seasonality, pollution, allergens, and associated atopy.
– Managed with anti-allergic meds, short steroid courses when indicated, protective eyewear, cold compresses, and trigger control.
Strabismus (Squint)
– Affects ~3–4% of children; may signal refractive/neurological issues.
– Work-up includes comprehensive refraction and prism measurements; treatment spans glasses, prisms, vision therapy, and surgery.
When Should Children Be Screened?
– Early and periodic vision screening throughout childhood to catch amblyopia risk factors and refractive errors promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Earlier is better—especially with family history or symptoms.
Yes; multiple RCTs show benefit with DIMS spectacles and myopia-control contact lenses.
Rebound can occur in some contexts; we plan dose and cessation carefully.
Evidence is emerging; some recent trials show outcomes comparable to patching.
