Myopia is the clinical term for myopia. Children affected by myopia have difficulty seeing clearly in the distance, while close objects can be seen more clearly. Typical signs<\/strong> can be that children sit close to the TV or cannot see the blackboard at school well. Other symptoms include excessive blinking, squinting of the eyes, headaches or frequent rubbing of the eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Due to the natural growth of the eyes, myopia can develop over the years. High myopia can be a risk factor for various eye diseases such as myopic macular degeneration<\/a>, glaucoma<\/a>, and retinal detachment. Early treatment<\/strong> of myopia can slow its progression<\/strong> and significantly reduce<\/strong> the risk<\/strong> of future eye diseases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"Calendar](\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27100%27%20height%3D%2778%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20100%2078%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27100%27%20height%3D%2778%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\")

Special contact lenses such as orthokeratological lenses (night lenses\/Ortho-K) or soft myopia lenses also have positive effects on myopia. The optical design of these lenses affects the accommodation behavior of children, which means the dynamic adaptation of the eye<\/strong> to different distances and blurring. These lenses change the peripheral relative hyperopic defocus to myopic defocus in order to limit the length growth of the eye.

For those who do not want to wear contact lenses, special myopia lenses are also available, which work with peripheral defocus. The best results in myopia management are achieved when different therapies are combined<\/strong> . For example, atropine drops are often arranged together with contact lenses to achieve the best possible effect.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/span><\/div>TERMIN<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>online vereinbaren<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nFrequently asked questions about myopia in children<\/h3><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/sanoculus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sanoculus_Spandau_in-der-Praxis_Anja-Grothe-Fotografie_010.jpg\" "\\"Sanoculus_Spandau_in")
