Hello.

I'm Dr. Lee Min-ji, head director of Gangnam ID Eye Clinic.

These days, most elementary school students excessively use their cell phones and are exposed to various electronic devices such as TVs and computers in their daily lives.

This often leads to vision problems from an early age.

In particular, if myopia, where you can see things up close but not far away, starts in childhood, it is not only difficult to recover naturally but also worsens as you become an adult, increasing the risk of high myopia, requiring attention.

In general, glasses come to mind as a way to improve vision, but Dream Lenses are known to correct vision and suppress the progression of myopia, so many parents visit ophthalmologists for their children's Dream Lenses.

So today, we will explore vision development treatment and diagnosis methods at Gangnam Children's Eye Clinic, and what to check before getting Dream Lenses.

"Vision problems such as myopia and amblyopia?"

Vision is known to be completed between the ages of 6 and 9. Vision changes from this period can affect lifelong vision, requiring parental attention. In particular, early detection and appropriate response to vision problems such as myopia and amblyopia are very important.

Myopia is a refractive error in which the image of an object is formed in front of the retina when looking at a distant object. It refers to the condition of the eye where you can see things up close but not far away.

In particular, it is a vision condition that can occur when there is a lot of near work and high usage of smart devices. The prevalence of myopia has been rapidly increasing worldwide over the past 20 years.

In the case of children, if parents have myopia, there is a high probability of it being inherited. During the growth period, the eyeball also grows, so if they have lifestyle habits such as reading in the dark or watching TV or cell phones frequently, their vision may worsen faster than adults.

Myopia generally starts around the age of 6, before or after entering elementary school, and progresses until the end of growth. It often appears during periods of rapid height growth.

As the length of the eye grows with height growth, myopia progression can occur rapidly.

Childhood myopia does not remain the same until adulthood and gradually worsens. If left untreated, it can develop into high myopia or very high myopia.

Therefore, it is good to correct myopia in children with glasses. However, if they find wearing glasses uncomfortable or are very active, posing a safety risk, Dream Lenses at Gangnam Children's Eye Clinic can be actively considered.

"What to check about Dream Lenses?"

Dream Lenses are special lenses that correct vision through morphological changes in the cornea by wearing them during sleep. They are known to be particularly effective in managing myopia in children.

These lenses suppress the progression of myopia by pressing on the cornea while you sleep, and you can enjoy a convenient daily life without wearing glasses during the day.

Due to this convenience, Dream Lenses can be considered not only for myopia control but also in cases where there are concerns about side effects from wearing glasses.

There is no set wearing period or age for Dream Lenses, but it is generally recommended to start wearing them from the age of 6. They are recommended for children with myopia or astigmatism, children whose progressive myopia is worsening, and children who are restricted by glasses due to a lot of outdoor activities.

The smart way to use Dream Lenses is to visit a children's eye clinic and correct them early before myopia progresses. The younger the child, the better the corneal elasticity, the faster the effect appears, and the longer the correction duration.

"Features and Effects of Dream Lenses"

It is important to wear them for more than 8 hours a day for vision correction. The effect lasts with consistent use, but if you stop using them, your vision will return to its original myopic state. It is important to recognize that Dream Lenses do not improve the child's original myopia itself.

Since they are worn during sleep, there are no restrictions on daily life. Since vision is corrected while you sleep, you can live without wearing glasses during the day.

Dream Lenses are generally known for suppressing myopia progression in growing children, but adults can also wear them, so anyone can use them safely regardless of age.

"Why Regular Checkups Are Important for Vision Development Diagnosis"

Children's vision changes rapidly throughout the growth process, so regular checkups and careful observation are important.

The eyes continue to grow until the age of 18, like other parts of the body. During this period, myopia worsens, and once vision deteriorates, it is difficult to recover. In severe cases, it can develop into high myopia.

High myopia of -6 diopters or more increases the likelihood of developing eye diseases such as macular degeneration, retinal disease, or cataracts with age. Therefore, attention should be paid to the vision development of growing children, as it can have a significant impact on lifelong eye health. Regular eye exams are important for diagnosing vision development.

Therefore, it is desirable to have a vision test and axial length measurement at a children's eye clinic at least once a year, or preferably every six months. Regular checkups can help determine the rate of myopia progression, adjust glasses prescriptions if necessary, or consider wearing myopia control Dream Lenses.

"If You Want Proper Dream Lens Fitting?"

In order to use Dream Lenses effectively, individual precise diagnosis is essential. It is wise to accurately assess the child's eye condition through various tests such as corneal curvature measurement, corneal size and pupil size measurement, and eye size and eyelid condition measurement.

Medical staff assistance is also essential to get a Dream Lens prescription. Children's eyes are constantly growing and changing, so the experience and care of children's ophthalmologists are essential to select the appropriate lens and ensure an accurate prescription.

In addition, it is good to check whether you are reaching your target vision and check your eye condition while confirming that you are using Dream Lenses skillfully.

To prevent myopia in children, it is good to get enough outdoor activity to get enough sunlight along with regular sleep during the growth period, and it can also be helpful to combine various games so that vision can develop evenly.

So far, we have learned about Dream Lenses at Gangnam Children's Eye Clinic for children's vision correction. I hope it was helpful. I'm Lee Min-ji, head director of Gangnam ID Eye Clinic.
