TSO Briargrove Myopia (Nearsightedness) Management in Houston, TX

Myopia management can help you or your child’s vision and eye health.

The TSO Briargrove optometrists can prescribe proven myopia control treatments to prevent vision from worsening. Several clinically proven treatments can effectively slow myopia progression, but professional evaluation is essential to determine the best option for your needs and lifestyle. Myopia management options include:

Ortho-K: Sleep Your Way to Better Vision. Orthokeratology lenses, like Abiliti™ Overnight Lenses, use specially designed rigid contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. Wake up with clear, natural vision without glasses or contacts all day—perfect for athletes and active individuals. Clinical studies show Ortho-K provides immediate vision correction and significantly slows myopia progression in children and adults.

Atropine Eye Drops: Pharmaceutical Myopia Control. Low-dose atropine drops relax eye muscles to prevent strain-induced eyeball elongation that worsens nearsightedness. Unlike exam dilating drops, therapeutic atropine provides all-day protection with minimal side effects. Research shows up to 60% reduction in myopia progression, especially effective for children.

Multifocal Lenses: Advanced Optical Design. Specialty multifocal glasses and contacts use innovative designs to reduce peripheral defocus—a key driver of myopia progression. Three-year studies demonstrate 30-50% slower progression with these progressive lenses compared to standard lenses, offering convenient treatment that fits your existing eyewear routine.

Nearsightedness vs. Farsightedness: What’s the Difference?

Myopia (nearsightedness) and Hyperopia (farsightedness) are two of the most common types of refractive errors. Refractive errors are conditions where the eye struggles to focus light properly, resulting in blurred vision. The key difference lies in what distances are affected.

Myopia (nearsightedness) causes distant objects to appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. This happens when the eye is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina. People with myopia often notice difficulty seeing road signs, classroom boards or watching movies from afar.

In contrast, hyperopia (farsightedness) makes it harder to see nearby objects clearly, while distance vision may remain relatively unaffected. This occurs when the eye is too short or the cornea lacks sufficient curvature, causing light to focus behind the retina. Farsighted individuals may experience eye strain, headaches, or difficulty with tasks like reading or using a smartphone.

We can easily diagnose both conditions during a comprehensive eye examination and managed each with glasses, contact lenses, or specialized treatments.
