Myopia means blurred vision at a distance, but sharp vision up close. It’s caused by an eye that’s too long or a cornea that’s too curved: the image forms in front of the retina. The result? Reading a book, no problem… but recognizing a face in the distance can become difficult.
Good news: it is possible to slow down the progression of myopia with specific treatment called Myopia Management. Lumi kids glasses from Ikyum, multifocal lenses and orthokeratology are among the effective solutions to consider.
For the production of glasses or contact lenses designed to slow down myopia (Myopia Management), measuring the axial length is essential. Measurements can be taken at our premises if your ophthalmologist does not offer this service.
Hyperopia causes blurred near vision, and sometimes blurred far vision. It is linked to a slight anomaly in the shape of the eye: too short, or a cornea that is not sufficiently curved. As a result, the image forms behind the retina, forcing the eyes to make a constant effort to see clearly. Over time, this can lead to visual fatigue and headaches, especially at the end of the day.
Glasses that correct long-sightedness — sometimes called reading glasses — are particularly useful when looking at screens. For enhanced visual comfort throughout the day, we recommend combining it with the proBalance filter, which provides effective protection against blue light.
Astigmatism blurs both near and far vision. It is caused by an irregular curvature of the cornea, which distorts images. Contours appear blurred or split. The good news is that astigmatism is easily corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
Presbyopia generally occurs between the ages of 40 and 45, making it more difficult to focus up close. This natural phenomenon is due to the aging of the crystalline lens, which gradually loses its flexibility. Are you reaching for your phone? Perhaps it’s time to consider a correction.
Are you hesitating to switch to progressive lenses because of the sensation of pitching? Try Horizon dual fusion lenses from Ikyum: an advanced technology that minimizes the undesirable effects often associated with conventional progressive lenses.
