Orthokeratology is a treatment where children wear contact lenses at night while sleeping and have shown to slow down the progress of myopia. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agashehospital.com\/can-atropine-eye-drops-cure-nearsightedness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Atropine eye drops<\/a> have also been found useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two new technologies of spectacle lenses have found to have slowed down the progression of myopia in children. These two technologies are HAL (Highly Aspherical Lenslet) and DIMS (Defocus incorporated multiple segments).

In myopic eyes, the eyeball is longer because of which the rays get focused in front of the retina causing persons with myopia to see blurry images if they do not wear glasses. Wearing minus powered glasses bends the rays of light such that they get focused exactly on the retina. However, this focusing happens only with our central vision, while the peripheral vision remains defocused. The rays of light that meet behind the retina now gradually go on to give a feedback to the brain that the eye is shorter than needed. Hence over time, the eyeball grows slightly longer causing the spectacle powers to increase over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:26%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.agashehospital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:28% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.agashehospital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7518 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myplus91.ddns.net\/agashehospital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Black-yellow-Modern-Business-Instagram-Post-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now this is where these new lenses work differently. They have a central area which works like normal glasses for central vision<sup>2<\/sup> . Around this central area is a special zone which causes the rays of light to now meet in front of the retina gradually reducing the feedback going to the brain that the eye ball needs to elongate (ultimately slowing the increase of the spectacle numbers).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do these slow the progress of myopia?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of studies done in the last 2 -3 years have shown promising results. A latest study presented in May 2022 studied children for a six year period.<sup>3<\/sup> The study found that a group of kids who wore DIMS spectacles had a definitely slower progress of myopia than the group which wore regular spectacles (called single vision spectacles) throughout or a group that wore DIMS spectacles for 3.5 years and then switched to regular glasses. Another Vietnamese study in children also showed that HAL lenses helped slow down the progression of Myopia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In India, these lenses ar available in private practice since Feb &#8211; March 2022 and are an exciting new development in slowing progress of myopia in our children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Williams K, Hammond C.
