With the wrong prescription, myopia (short-sightedness) is the easiest eye condition to disrupt. Myopia control spectacle lenses are a great way to protect children eyes that are at risk of developing myopia (short-sightedness). They work by allowing close-up work but holding it at a normal reading distance so that the eye focuses correctly.
Lenses give more freedom and independence.
If one is nearsighted, there is a good chance that the glasses one wears all the time are ugly. This is because spectacle lenses were designed to correct short-sightedness and ignore style. As a result, most people who get glasses drop them in a drawer as soon as they leave the shop. Or if they do wear them all the time, it is only because they have been prescribed sunglasses and regular lenses and can’t see without them. The problem with this design is that when one looks through their myopia control spectacle lenses at the world around them, one is looking through a lens that is inside another lens. There are two extra layers of glass between one and the world. If their distance vision isn’t very good to start with, or if their eyesight varies from day to day (which is normal), then it means that sometimes what one sees through those glasses looks blurry and indistinct. This can be dangerous at night, it can be fatal, and in general, it makes life more difficult than it need be.
Controlling their myopia with myopia control spectacle lenses is as easy as choosing the right lenses to wear. The most popular lens which can control their myopia is the multifocal contact lens. These multifocal contacts are designed with customized features to reduce their dependence on frequent glasses and maintain clear vision now and in the future while also controlling changes in their prescription. This helps prevent strain and provides a more comfortable fit. Secondly, these contact lenses have a custom design that controls peripheral light transmission for clearer distant vision. This feature is especially helpful for those who suffer from extreme myopia (or nearsightedness). Multifocal contact lenses also give one clearer reading vision with sharper contrast, which is great if one is an avid reader or works in an office environment where long hours at the computer may be common practice.
Myopia control spectacle lenses are much cheaper.
Myopia control spectacle lenses are much cheaper than contact lenses. Myopia control spectacle lenses have several advantages:
- It can be used for both eyes.
- It does not require a contact lens solution and both cases.
- Myopia control spectacle lenses can be worn in the shower and swimming pool.
In the past, most people had to choose between glasses and contact lenses to correct myopia. There is indeed a great difference between glasses and contact lenses in this respect: one must remove the contact lens when taking a shower; on the other hand, glasses can also be removed when taking a shower or swimming pool.
