    Best Myopia Treatment in Mumbai

    Many people visit an eye care center for the treatment of myopia, also known as nearsightedness.
    Metropolitan cities like Mumbai are considered to be hubs for basic and advanced eye care services and treatments due to the easy access to the latest medical technology and equipment along with some of the best and most experienced myopia doctors in Mumbai.
    Surya Eye Hospital offers the best myopia treatment in Mumbai using advanced technology under the expert care of some of the best and most skilled eye specialist doctors in Mumbai.

    What is Myopia?

    Myopia or nearsightedness is a common vision problem in which a person can see close objects clearly, but far objects look blurry.
    The condition develops when the shape of the eye, or the shape of certain parts of the eye, causes the light rays to refract or bend. The light rays should ideally be focused on the nerve tissues present at the back of the eye, known as the retina. However, in the case of myopia, the light rays are focused in the front of the retina.

    Surya Eye Hospital is the best myopia clinic in Mumbai, offering safe and effective treatments to correct myopia.

    What Are the Different Types of Myopia?
    Myopia can be of the following different types:
    • Simple Myopia: This type of myopia usually begins in childhood or adolescence. After adolescence, the vision usually stabilizes and does not become worse. Eyeglasses or contact lenses can usually correct this type of myopia.
    • High Myopia: This is a more severe form of myopia in which a person develops myopia at a young age and the condition worsens with age. The condition can increase the risk of developing other eye conditions, like retinal detachment, cataracts, or glaucoma.
    • Pathological or Degenerative Myopia: This is a rare, severe type of myopia that is generally inherited from the parents. The affected person will generally have other eye conditions that affect the retina, including the following:

      • Lattice degeneration (a type of retinal thinning)
      • Retinal atrophy (parts of the retina are wasted and fail to work)
      • Forster-Fuchs spot (a type of retinal scarring leading to blind spots)

    Pathological myopia leads to vision loss that cannot be corrected using eyeglasses or contact lenses.

    What Are the Causes of Myopia?
    Myopia is caused due to problems in the eye structure. When the eyeball is too long or the cornea, which is the protective outer layer of the eye, is too curved, the light entering the eye will not focus correctly.

    This results in the images focusing in front of the retina, which is the light-sensitive part of the eye, instead of focusing directly on the retina. This leads to blurred vision and myopia, which is a type of refractive error.

    What Are the Risk Factors for Myopia?

    Some factors may increase the risk of developing myopia, such as:

    • Family history of myopia
    • Childhood and adolescence
    • Doing close-up activities, like reading, using the phone, watching TV, or using the laptop, for a prolonged time
    • Not spending sufficient time outdoors
    What Are the Symptoms of Myopia?

    Myopia may be associated with the following symptoms:

     

    • Faraway objects appear blurred while nearby objects appear clear
    • Headaches
    • Squinting
    • Eye strain
    • Eye fatigue while trying to see objects more than a couple of feet away

     

    Children with myopia may not know that they are not able to see far-away objects clearly, but they may show the following symptoms:

     

    • Squints often
    • Blinks a lot
    • Is not aware of objects at a distance
    • Frequently rub their eyes
    • Sits too close to the TV
    • Have difficulty reading words on display on the school board
    How is Myopia Diagnosed?

    Myopia can be diagnosed during a standard eye exam by an ophthalmologist. The following tests may be included in a standard eye exam:

    • Visual Acuity: This test will include reading the symbols or letters on an eye chart, which are of different sizes.
    • Refraction Test: The eye doctor will ask the patient to look through a machine having different lenses to check for any refraction errors. This test can also help in determining the prescription for lenses if required.
    • Peripheral Vision Test: The eye doctor will test the peripheral or side vision by asking the patient to view images through a machine. The loss of peripheral vision could be a sign of glaucoma, which is a serious eye condition that could lead to blindness if it is left untreated.
    • Pupil Exam: The eye doctor will use a bright light on the eye to see if the pupils shrink properly. Any other pupil reaction could indicate an abnormality.
    • Eye Movement Test: This test helps in examining the health of the eye muscles. These muscles help control eye movement.
    • Eye Pressure Test: The eye doctor releases a puff of air into the eyes to test the eye pressure. High eye pressure could be a sign of glaucoma, which is usually caused by high pressure in the eye.
    • Eye Health and Structure Exam: The doctor will check for damages such as scratches on the cornea or signs of cataracts.
    • Retina and Optic Nerve Exam: The eye doctor may use dilating eye drops to widen the pupil to check for any damage to the retina and optic nerve. The eyes will stay sensitive to light for a couple of hours after the test and the patient will need some help to go home after the appointment.
    Our eye doctors at Surya Eye Hospital use safe and comfortable diagnostic methods and techniques for the accurate detection and management of myopia in Mumbai.
    Myopia Diagnosis by Myopia Master at Surya Eye Hospital
    What is Myopia Master?

    The Myopia Master is an advanced diagnostic tool designed to effectively manage and monitor myopia (nearsightedness) progression in patients.

     

    This state-of-the-art technology combines axial length measurement, refraction, and keratometry to provide a comprehensive analysis of the eye. 

     

    Myopia Master is used at Surya Eye Hospital to offer personalized treatment plans aimed at controlling myopia progression, particularly in children and adolescents.

    How Does Myopia Master Work?

    The Myopia Master uses a three-fold approach to diagnose and manage myopia, which is as follows:

     

    • Axial Length Measurement: This important parameter helps in accurately assessing the growth of the eye, which is a key factor in myopia progression.
    • Refraction: By measuring the refractive error, the Myopia Master provides precise information about the degree of nearsightedness.
    • Keratometry: This measurement evaluates the curvature of the cornea, further aiding in the accurate assessment of myopia.

     

    By integrating these three measurements, the Myopia Master offers a detailed and holistic view of the eye’s condition, enabling our specialists to craft highly targeted and effective treatment strategies.

    Benefits of Myopia Master at Surya Eye Hospital

    The Myopia Master has several benefits as a diagnostic tool for myopia, which include the following:

     

    • Early Detection and Management: The Myopia Master allows for early detection of myopia, enabling timely intervention to slow its progression.
    • Personalized Treatment Plans: With detailed and accurate data, our eye care specialists can create customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
    • Enhanced Monitoring: Regular use of the Myopia Master helps in tracking the effectiveness of treatment plans and making necessary adjustments for optimal results.
    • Improved Outcomes: Early and precise intervention can significantly reduce the risk of severe myopia and associated complications, ensuring better long-term eye health.

     

    At Surya Eye Hospital, Myopia Master will help in the early diagnosis and the best myopia treatment in Mumbai with favorable long-term results.

    What is the Treatment for Myopia?

    Myopia can be treated using the following different treatment methods:

    • Eyeglasses: It is the most commonly used treatment method for myopia. A concave lens is used to correct myopia, which will have a negative number prescription. The higher the number of prescriptions, the stronger the lenses needed.
    • Contact Lenses: Certain people have a wider and sharper distance vision with contact lenses.
    • Ortho-k or CRT: These are temporary corneal refractive contact lenses that have to be worn overnight to reshape the cornea and improve vision in mild myopia cases.
    • LASIK: Also known as laser-assisted in situ keratomileus, the procedure involves using a laser to cut a flap through the top of the cornea, reshape the corneal tissue, and then drop the flap back into its place.
    • LASEK: Also known as laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy, this procedure involves using a laser to cut a flap through the epithelium (top layer) of the cornea, reshaping the outer layers, and then closing the flap.
    • PRK or Photorefractive Keratectomy: The procedure is similar to a LASEK, except that the doctor will completely remove the epithelium in this procedure. A laser is then used to reshape the cornea and a temporary protective contact lens is then used to cover the cornea until the epithelium grows back naturally to conform to the new shape of the cornea.
    • Phakic Intraocular Lens: The procedure involves placing the phakic intraocular lens inside the eye just in front of the natural lens and is done in cases of high myopia or patients with very thin corneas who cannot undergo PRK or LASIK.
    • Intraocular Lens Implant: The procedure involves the surgical insertion of a new lens to replace the natural lens before the development of a cataract.
    • Atropine drops: They are usually used to dilate the eye pupil during an eye exam before or after eye surgery. Low dosages of atropine drops can also help in slowing down the progression of myopia.
    What Are the Risks of Myopia?
    Untreated myopia can lead to several complications, like:
    • Impaired safety
    • Eyestrain
    • Inability to enjoy or do daily tasks properly
    • Poor school performance and difficulty in social interactions
    • Impaired quality of life
    • Reduced self-confidence
    • Increased risk of other eye problems, like glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, and other serious eye problems
    What is the Cost of Myopia Treatment in Mumbai?
    The myopia treatment cost in Mumbai will vary depending on the type of treatment offered among other factors. The cost of eyeglasses or contact lenses will usually be a couple of thousand, whereas the cost of LASIK treatment may vary between INR 20,000 to INR 1,00,000.
    The different factors that determine the cost of myopia treatment in Mumbai include the following:
    • The type and severity of myopia present
