At our clinic, we recognise that myopia is not just a refractive error—it is a condition that can significantly influence quality of life, academic performance in children, and overall visual comfort in adulthood. Early diagnosis and precise management are essential to maintaining lifelong visual clarity.

At our clinic, we recognise that myopia is not just a refractive error—it is a condition that can significantly influence quality of life, academic performance in children, and overall visual comfort in adulthood. Early diagnosis and precise management are essential to maintaining lifelong visual clarity.
Symptoms of Myopia
Patients with myopia often notice blurred distance vision, squinting, eye strain, or headaches after tasks that require sustained visual effort.
- In children: Difficulty seeing the school board, holding books very close, or sitting near the television are common early signs. Teachers and parents may notice reduced attention or errors when copying from a distance.
- In adults: Struggles with reading traffic signs, driving at night, or enjoying the cinema and theatre are frequent complaints. Prolonged use of digital devices may intensify eye fatigue.
Recognising these symptoms early and undergoing routine eye examinations are crucial steps in preventing progression.
Causes & Risk Factors
Myopia develops through a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental influences. Children with one or both parents affected by myopia are at a significantly higher risk. Lifestyle factors—such as prolonged screen exposure, insufficient outdoor activity, and poor reading habits—may accelerate its onset and progression.
Modern living, with increased reliance on digital devices, has contributed to a global rise in myopia, making proactive care more important than ever.
| Miyop Derecesi | Diyoptri Aralığı | Özellikler |
|---|---|---|
| Düşük Dereceli Miyopi | 0 ile -3.00 diyoptri | – Hafif miyop olarak adlandırılır. – Genellikle uzaktaki nesneleri bulanık görmekle sınırlıdır. – Gözlük veya kontakt lens kullanımı yeterlidir. – Miyopun başlangıç aşaması olarak kabul edilir. |
| Orta Dereceli Miyop | -3.00 ile -6.00 diyoptri | – Orta derecede miyopi olarak adlandırılır. – Hem uzaktaki nesnelerde hem de orta mesafede bulanık görme sorunları yaşanabilir. – Gözlük ya da kontakt lens kullanımı daha zorunlu hale gelir. – İlerleyen durumlarda miyopinin kontrolü için ek tedavi gerekebilir. |
| Yüksek Dereceli Miyopi | -6.00 diyoptri ve üzeri | – İleri miyop olarak da bilinir. – Görme bozukluğu belirgin hale gelir ve günlük yaşamda ciddi zorluklar yaratabilir. – Retina yırtılması, retina dekolmanı ve glokom gibi komplikasyon riski taşır. – Daha dikkatli bir izleme ve tedavi gerektirir. |
| Dejeneratif Miyopi | -10.00 diyoptri ve üzeri | – Patolojik miyop veya dejeneratif miyop olarak adlandırılabilir. – Göz küresinin aşırı uzun olmasıyla ilişkilendirilir. – Retina ve göz dokularında yapısal değişikliklere yol açabilir. – Özel tıbbi tedavi ve sürekli takip gerektirir. – Numara ilerlemesi yaşam boyu devam edebilir. |
Mypia Treatment Options
At our clinic, we provide personalised, state-of-the-art solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs and lifestyle.
Eyeglasses & Contact Lenses
The simplest and most common solution, designed with precision to restore clear distance vision. Advanced lens technologies also help reduce digital eye strain and improve contrast for night driving.
Laser Vision Correction (LASIK, PRK, SMILE)
Our cutting-edge laser treatments gently reshape the cornea to achieve permanent correction. Most patients enjoy dramatically improved vision within days—often without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Intraocular Lens Surgery
For patients with high-degree myopia or unsuitable for laser correction, premium intraocular lenses offer a safe, lasting alternative, restoring clarity even in complex cases.
Lifestyle & Supportive Approaches
While natural methods cannot cure myopia, healthy visual habits—such as adequate lighting, reduced screen exposure, and a diet rich in antioxidants—support eye health and may help slow progression.
Myopia Control in Children
Myopia often begins in childhood and may progress rapidly during the school years, when the eye is still developing. Early intervention is crucial—not only to provide a clear vision today but also to protect long-term eye health. High levels of myopia are linked to an increased risk of retinal complications and other sight-threatening conditions in adulthood.
At our clinic, we offer evidence-based myopia control programs tailored for children and adolescents:
- Specialised Myopia Control Lenses
Innovative eyeglass and contact lens designs (such as defocus incorporated lenses and orthokeratology lenses) help slow the progression of myopia while ensuring clear vision for daily activities. - Atropine Eye Drops (Low-Dose Therapy)
A scientifically proven treatment, safe low-dose atropine drops can reduce the rate of myopia progression when used under specialist supervision. - Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Night Lenses
Special rigid contact lenses worn overnight gently reshape the cornea, allowing clear vision throughout the day while also helping to control progression. - Lifestyle Guidance & Preventive Care
Increased outdoor activities, limiting prolonged screen time, and establishing healthy visual habits are integral parts of protecting children’s eyes.
With personalised monitoring and advanced treatment options, our goal is to preserve your child’s vision and safeguard their future eye health.
