There is evidence that MiSight contact lenses, Ortho K lenses and myopia management spectacles can be used to slow the progression of myopia. All three options have similar levels of efficacy ranging from 40% to 60~% reduction in progression over 1-3 years.
Common symptoms of myopia include blurry vision when looking at distant objects, squinting, headaches, and difficulty seeing clearly while driving or playing sports.
Prolonged screen time may contribute to eye strain, but it is not a direct cause of myopia. However, outdoor activities are associated with a reduced risk of developing myopia.
