SERVICES MYOPIA CONTROL

Myopia, is one of the most common vision issues, affecting 30% of teens and 90% of Asian adults. People with myopia have trouble seeing things as they get further away, which is why this population is often referred to as “nearsighted.” These vision problems stem from an elongated eyeball and can be treated using standard prescription eyewear like glasses or contacts. At Golden Vision, we fit patients experiencing myopia or hyperopia (farsightedness) with corrective eyewear that strengthens their vision where they need it to, offering specialized contacts and LASIK management in the most severe cases.

Orthokeratology or Ortho-K is a specialized procedure to treat common vision problems like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. When worn overnight, Ortho-K contact lenses use gentle pressure to temporarily reshape the cornea. When the patient takes the lenses out in the morning, the change in the shape of their cornea will reduce or eliminate the effects of their vision issues throughout the day. At Golden Vision, we commonly use Ortho-K for myopia, because we see so many patients with this particular issue. Ortho-K can be a life-changing treatment for many of our patients.

Laser corrective surgery is an option to fix refractive issues with the eye: most commonly, myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. At Golden Vision, we can guide patients through the process of this potentially life-changing procedure in a way that ensures that they can improve their vision in the safest and most comfortable way possible. Our experienced team of California optometrists handle pre-op and post-op screenings, as well as fitting for contact lenses and other corrective eyewear in the event that LASIK isn’t 100 percent effective for you.
