Recent advances in optics have enabled the creation of special glasses that can help slow the progression of this condition. These glasses, which seem similar to classic glasses, however, have special properties that help to reduce the elongation of the eye, which is the main cause of myopia. Indeed, a myopic eye tends to lengthen gradually, which leads to a difficulty seeing distant objects. Special lenses can limit this elongation, which allows the eye to retain its normal shape and reduce the risk of myopia worsening.
People of all ages can benefit from these glasses, but they are particularly useful for children who are growing and whose eyes are still developing. Children are often more susceptible to myopia, in particular because of their frequent use of screens and their lack of exposure to natural light. For this reason, specialists recommend that children spend at least an hour and a half a day outdoors, preferably during the sunniest hours. It can help to prevent the onset of myopia or to slow its development in children who are already affected (source 1).
Although special glasses for myopia are more expensive than conventional glasses, around fifty euros more, their effectiveness in preventing and slowing down the disease can be invaluable for people who suffer from it. It is therefore important to consult an optician or an ophthalmologist to determine if these glasses can be useful in your particular case.
