UNDERSTANDING MYOPIA
Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness or short-sightedness, is a vision condition in which nearby objects appear clear, while distant objects look blurred.
It occurs when the eye is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
Myopia often develops during childhood and may progress through the teenage years. Early detection and appropriate management can help slow its progression.
UNDERSTANDING THE RISK FACTORS
Myopia develops due to genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Understanding these helps identify children at greater risk of developing or progressing myopia.
Children with one or both parents having myopia are more likely to develop nearsightedness.
Prolonged reading, studying and other close-up activities may increase the risk of myopia.
Spending less time outdoors is associated with a higher risk of developing myopia in children.
Extended use of digital devices for close-up activities may contribute to myopia risk, particularly when combined with limited outdoor time.
Children who develop myopia at an early age have a greater risk of progression and developing high myopia.
Excessive elongation of the eyeball causes light to focus in front of the retina and is a major structural factor in myopia development and progression.
KNOW WHEN TO SEEK HELP
Recognising early signs of myopia can help ensure timely vision correction and appropriate management.
Difficulty seeing distant objects, road signs or classroom boards clearly.
Squinting or narrowing the eyes to see distant objects more clearly.
Moving closer to televisions or other screens to see clearly.
Frequent eye discomfort or headaches, particularly during activities requiring clear distance vision.

MEET OUR TEAM
Our experienced eye specialists combine clinical expertise with advanced diagnostic technology to provide personalised myopia assessment and long-term management of the condition.
Myopia is a refractive error measured in negative dioptres (D). The higher the negative prescription, the greater the degree of nearsightedness. At Surya Eye, an experienced myopia specialist in Mumbai can assess prescription changes and recommend appropriate management based on age and eye health.
Myopia develops through a combination of structural, genetic and environmental factors.
Excessive elongation of the eyeball causes light to focus in front of the retina. Axial length measurements help monitor eye growth.
Children with myopic parents have a greater likelihood of developing myopia, although family history is not the only contributing factor.
Prolonged close-up activities may contribute to myopia development, particularly when combined with limited outdoor exposure.
Children who spend less time outdoors have a higher risk of developing myopia.
The main types of myopia include simple myopia, high myopia, pathological myopia and childhood myopia, classified by severity, structural changes or age of onset.
A common form of nearsightedness that can generally be corrected using prescription glasses or contact lenses.
Usually defined as a prescription of −6.00 dioptres or more, high myopia is associated with increased risks of certain eye complications.
A condition involving structural changes at the back of the eye that may affect retinal health and vision.
Myopia that develops during childhood and may progress as the eyes grow.
Common symptoms of myopia include blurred distance vision, frequent squinting, eye strain, headaches and difficulty seeing distant objects or classroom boards.
Distant objects appear unclear, while nearby objects may remain relatively sharp.
Narrowing the eyes may temporarily improve distance vision.
Some individuals experience visual discomfort or headaches, although these symptoms can have other causes.
Children may struggle to read classroom boards or follow lessons from a distance.
Recognising faces, road signs and other distant details may become difficult.
At Surya Eye, a skilled myopia doctor in Mumbai can determine whether these symptoms are caused by a refractive error or another eye condition.
Myopia is diagnosed through visual acuity testing, refraction and eye measurements, with additional assessments used to evaluate progression and overall eye health.
Measures the clarity of vision using standard eye charts.
Determines the appropriate spectacle prescription, sometimes using cycloplegic eye drops for greater accuracy in children.
Measures eye length to assess growth and monitor progression.
Measures corneal curvature and supports refractive assessment.
The Myopia Master combines refraction, axial length measurement and keratometry. Patients seeking assessment using a myopia master in Mumbai can enquire about its role in monitoring childhood myopia.
Myopia control involves treatments intended to slow worsening nearsightedness, particularly during childhood. At Surya Eye, myopia control in Mumbai may include specialised optical lenses or prescribed medication.
Slowing progression may reduce the likelihood of developing high myopia and its associated complications.
Regular prescription and axial length measurements help assess changes and treatment response.
Myopia control for children in Mumbai is selected according to age, prescription, progression rate and individual suitability.
Myopia treatment in Mumbai at Surya Eye includes optical correction, childhood progression-control therapies and refractive procedures for eligible adults.
Prescription spectacles provide clear distance vision. Specialised designs may also help slow childhood myopia progression.
Contact lenses offer an alternative to glasses. A contact lens clinic can assess suitability and provide fitting and hygiene guidance.
Specialised spectacle and soft contact lenses use optical designs intended to reduce myopia progression in suitable children.
Ortho-K uses specially fitted overnight lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea and may slow myopia progression.
Prescription atropine eye drops can help slow progression in some children. Treatment requires medical supervision.
LASIK eye surgery in Mumbai, other laser procedures and implantable lenses available at Surya Eye may correct myopia in eligible adults with stable prescriptions.
At Surya Eye, myopia treatment for children in Mumbai focuses on correcting vision and addressing the risk of progression.
Regular pediatric eye care assessments can identify refractive errors and associated visual concerns.
Periodic examinations help determine whether a child's prescription or axial length is changing.
Child myopia treatment in Mumbai at Surya Eye may include specialised lenses, atropine or other suitable approaches based on clinical findings.
High myopia increases the lifetime risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic macular changes.
A retina clinic in Mumbai can evaluate retinal abnormalities. Sudden flashes, new floaters or a shadow across vision require urgent assessment.
Regular dilated retinal examinations help identify changes requiring further investigation or treatment.
Established axial myopia cannot currently be permanently reversed through medication, exercises or lifestyle changes. Glasses and contact lenses correct vision, while refractive surgery can reduce dependence on spectacles in eligible adults.
Although myopia progression cannot always be prevented, certain habits can support healthy vision and complement prescribed treatment.
Encourage Daily Outdoor Activities
Aim for approximately two hours of outdoor time daily. Outdoor exposure is associated with a lower risk of developing myopia, although its effect on established myopia progression is less certain.
Maintain a Comfortable Reading Distance
Encourage children to hold books and digital devices approximately 30-40 cm from their eyes. Avoid prolonged reading or screen use at very close distances.
Follow the 20-20-20 Rule
After every 20 minutes of near work, look at something approximately 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps reduce eye strain but is not proven to slow myopia progression.
Ensure Adequate Lighting
Provide comfortable lighting during reading and studying. Good lighting supports visual comfort, although it is not proven to prevent myopia progression.
Follow the Prescribed Treatment Plan
Use prescribed glasses, contact lenses or medications as directed. Avoid changing spectacle power or stopping treatment without consulting the ophthalmologist.
Attend Regular Eye Examinations
Scheduled assessments help detect progression and determine whether treatment adjustments are necessary. Eye exercises cannot reliably reverse established myopia.
Myopia treatment cost in Mumbai depends on diagnostic investigations, prescribed lenses, medications and follow-up requirements. Costs vary according to the individual treatment plan.
Diagnostic costs depend on the examinations required, including refraction, axial length measurement and additional imaging when indicated.
Coverage depends on the insurance policy. Routine spectacles, contact lenses and outpatient myopia-control treatments are often excluded.
Choosing a trusted myopic hospital or myopia clinic in Mumbai involves considering diagnostic facilities, treatment options and access to follow-up care.
As an established eye hospital in Mumbai, Surya Eye provides specialised ophthalmic services and coordinated care for patients with additional eye health concerns.
Patients seeking experienced eye specialists in Mumbai can schedule a consultation at Surya Eye to discuss prescription changes, childhood myopia progression and suitable treatment options.
Bring previous prescriptions and relevant eye examination records, if available.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Answers to common questions about myopia care.
Myopia commonly develops between ages 6 and 12, although it can appear earlier or later. It often progresses during childhood and adolescence, making regular eye examinations important.
Yes, children with one or both myopic parents have a higher risk of developing myopia. However, environmental factors, including limited outdoor time and prolonged near work, also contribute.
Myopia cannot currently be permanently cured by medication or exercises. Glasses and contact lenses correct vision, while myopia-control treatments help slow progression. Refractive surgery may correct myopia in eligible adults.
No, established myopia cannot be reversed naturally through eye exercises, diet or lifestyle changes. Spending more time outdoors and following healthy visual habits may help reduce the risk of progression.
Myopia control involves treatments designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness, particularly in children. Options include low-dose atropine, specialised spectacle lenses, myopia-control contact lenses and orthokeratology.
The Myopia Master is an advanced diagnostic device that measures axial length, refraction and corneal curvature. It helps ophthalmologists assess childhood myopia, monitor eye growth and evaluate progression over time.
The best treatment depends on the child's age, prescription, progression rate and eye health. An ophthalmologist may recommend specialised myopia-control lenses, low-dose atropine or orthokeratology following a detailed assessment.
Yes, low-dose atropine eye drops can slow myopia progression in some children. Their effectiveness varies with concentration and individual response. Treatment should be prescribed and monitored by an ophthalmologist.
Yes, certain specially designed soft contact lenses can help slow myopia progression in children. Conventional contact lenses primarily correct vision and do not necessarily provide the same myopia-control benefits.
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, uses specially fitted contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea. It improves daytime vision without glasses and may help slow myopia progression in children.
Myopia treatment costs vary depending on diagnostic tests, prescribed lenses, medications and follow-up requirements. A detailed eye examination helps determine the appropriate treatment plan and its estimated cost.
Children with myopia generally require an eye examination at least annually. Those undergoing myopia-control treatment may need follow-ups every three to six months, depending on progression and clinical recommendations.
Yes, high myopia increases the risk of retinal tears, retinal detachment and myopic macular degeneration. Regular dilated retinal examinations help detect complications, particularly in patients with high or progressive myopia.
