Abhinav Drishti Eye Hospital offers a range of evaluated treatment options for myopia — including LASIK, ICL, SMILE, and Ortho-K — for children, teenagers, and adults. Our team will assess your eyes and discuss which options may be suitable for you.
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common refractive error where nearby objects appear clear but distant objects look blurry. This occurs when the eyeball is slightly elongated or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
According to global eye health research, myopia prevalence is increasing worldwide, particularly among children and young adults, due to factors such as increased near-work and reduced time spent outdoors (World Health Organization; National Eye Institute).
If untreated or unmonitored, high myopia can be associated with an increased risk of certain eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration. Regular eye examinations help in early detection and monitoring.
| Myopia Level | General Guidance |
|---|---|
| Mild Myopia (-0.25 to -3.00D) | Often managed with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery depending on suitability |
| Moderate Myopia (-3.00 to -6.00D) | LASIK, SMILE, or ICL may be options after evaluation |
| High Myopia (-6.00D and above) | ICL is often considered, subject to individual assessment |
If you or your child experience these symptoms, we recommend scheduling an eye examination for proper diagnosis.
The following treatments are available at Abhinav Drishti Eye Hospital. Suitability for each option depends on a detailed eye examination, including corneal thickness, refractive power, age, and overall eye health.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) reshapes the cornea using a laser so that light focuses more accurately on the retina. It is typically a quick outpatient procedure with most patients noticing improved vision within a day or two.
Typically considered for power range of approximately -1D to -10D, age 18 and above, refractive stability for at least 12 months, and adequate corneal thickness. Final eligibility is determined after a comprehensive eye examination.
ICL involves implanting a specially designed lens inside the eye, in addition to the eye's natural lens. Unlike LASIK, no corneal tissue is removed, and the lens can be removed if needed in the future. This option is often considered for higher degrees of myopia or thinner corneas.
Often discussed with patients who have higher refractive power, thinner corneas, dry eye history, or who are not suitable candidates for LASIK. Typically considered for ages 21-45, subject to evaluation.
SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is a flapless laser procedure where a small lenticule of corneal tissue is removed through a tiny incision. Some studies suggest this approach may be associated with a lower incidence of dry eye symptoms compared to traditional LASIK, though individual outcomes vary.
Typically considered for approximately -1D to -10D, subject to corneal evaluation. May be discussed for patients concerned about dry eyes or those involved in contact sports.
Ortho-K involves wearing specially designed rigid contact lenses overnight that temporarily reshape the cornea, allowing clearer vision during the day without glasses or lenses. Some clinical studies suggest Ortho-K may help slow myopia progression in children, though results can vary between individuals.
Often considered for children and teenagers with progressive myopia, typically within a power range of approximately -0.5D to -6D, subject to corneal assessment.
Low-concentration atropine eye drops (such as 0.01%) are used in some myopia management programs for children. Several published studies have investigated their role in slowing myopia progression, though research findings on effectiveness vary, and atropine should only be used under medical supervision.
Often discussed for children with progressive myopia, typically considered after assessment by a pediatric eye specialist.
Glasses and contact lenses with concave (minus) lenses correct refractive error but do not change the underlying eye structure. Some specialized options, such as defocus-incorporated lenses (e.g., DIMS) and certain multifocal contact lenses, have been studied for their potential role in myopia management for children.
