Optical 88 Children Myopia Management Programme(including Axial Length Measurement)

Children Myopia Management Programme(including Axial Length Measurement)

• The peak period of myopia progression in Hong Kong children is between the ages of 6-10, which is also the golden ages for learning. Therefore, parents should pay extra attention to the myopia development in children. Appropriate measures should be taken to control myopia progression and ensure healthy vision development.
• Children Myopia Management Programme includes 14 detailed assessments which help to understand the cause of myopia and give recommendation on myopia management. The 4 major myopia management solutions include orthokeratology (known as Ortho-K lens), spectacle lens for myopia management, and soft contact lens for myopia management and atropine eye drops. Optometrist will explain the restrains, pros and cons of each solution.

Important Reminder: Pupil dilation maybe needed during eye exam. We suggest you to put on sunglasses, avoid driving, using computer and reading after eye examination. In general, ocular function will resume normal after 4-6 hours.

Optical 88 Children Myopia Management Programme (including Axial Length Measurement)Included:

1. Case history
Identify poor visual habit and vision problems, evaluate the risk of myopia progression

2. Cyclopedic Refraction check*
Children often with active accommodation. Cyclopedic refraction allows more precise assessment of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, etc. This helps to eliminate error caused by pseudo-myopia and give better assessment of refractive errors

3. Visual acuity (VA)

Check the distance and near VA, assess risk of amblyopia and evaluate if vision fulfills the requirement for effective learning

4. Intra-ocular pressure (IOP) measurement
Rise in IOP may result in glaucoma which may lead to blindness if left untreated

5. Binocular vision assessment

Visual function assessment on squint, accommodation (ability in changing focus) and motility (alignment of eyes in tracking target). Binocular vision problems may lead to tired eyes, blurry vision and double vision, which may affect learning

6. Colour vision test
Test on ability to differentiate colors, colour vision problem may affect learning and future career selection

7. Stereopsis (depth perception)
Good stereoacuity is important for precise judgment of distance and three-dimension perception, it is also important for sport performance

8. Slit lamp examination on outer and inner eye structures
Assessment of sensitive eyes (itchiness), corneal health, congenital cataract, etc.

9. Dilated fundus examination (retina image capture with digital fundus camera)
Assessment of the central and peripheral retina, can reveal some severe eye diseases such as retinal tear, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Digital retinal image is captured for photo documentation

10. Axial Length Measurement (by Optical Biometry)
Axial Length is the distance from the corneal surface to the retinal pigmented epithelium. An axial length of 26mm or greater indicates higher risk of vision threatening eye diseases.

Excessive axial elongation lead to myopia progression, hence controlling axial elongation becomes the key for myopia management

11. Corneal topography
Obtains 3D map of the curvature of cornea to decide if some myopia control treatments, such as Ortho- K lens, soft contact lenses for myopia management, are suitable

12. Analysis of risk factors and solutions for myopia management
Analysis of visual habits, environmental and the genetic factors for myopia progression in children. Detailed explanation on the restrains, pros and cons of each solution for myopia management.

13. Trial of Ortho-K lens
For clients who wish to try Ortho-K lens, optometrist will provide trial to evaluate the corneal response (change in corneal curvature and refractive errors) to Ortho-K lens wear, obtain data for ordering the best fit Ortho-K lens for myopia management programme

14. Consultation and recommendation
Evaluate the risk of myopia progression, give advice on myopia management and good visual habits
