Myopie, vaak bijziendheid genoemd, is een oogafwijking die een wazig zicht op grote afstand tot gevolg heeft. Iemand met myopie kan van dichtbij scherp zien, zoals bij het lezen van een boek of het kijken naar een telefoon, terwijl objecten op afstand, zoals winkelborden of televisieschermen, wazig of moeilijk leesbaar kunnen zijn.

Hoge graad van myopie wordt in verband gebracht met een verhoogd risico op oogaandoeningen op volwassen leeftijd, dus het is belangrijk om de ooggezondheid van uw kind in de gaten te houden en ervoor te zorgen dat alle symptomen van myopie door een oogzorgspecialist worden gecontroleerd.

Speciaal corrigerende brillenglazen of contactlenzen zijn de gebruikelijke behandeling voor myopie bij kinderen. Deze moeten worden gebruikt in combinatie met veranderingen in de gewoonten en dagelijkse activiteiten van uw kind om de verslechtering van de aandoening te vertragen.

Over My Kids Vision

My Kids Vision, ontwikkeld door oogzorgspecialisten en wetenschappelijke onderzoekers Dr. Paul en Dr. Kate Gifford, is een gratis online tool die ouders helpt om het risico op myopie bij hun kinderen te beoordelen en te managen.

Terwijl ze werkten aan Myopia Profile, een klinische en wetenschappelijke website om oogzorgspecialisten te helpen bij de behandeling van kinderen met myopie, zagen Paul en Kate in dat er behoefte was aan een speciaal informatiebron voor ouders, die hen door de stappen van de myopie-diagnose en de controle van de progressie leidt.

My Kids Vision wil ouders helpen om myopie en de impact ervan op het dagelijks leven beter te begrijpen, door hen alle tools en hulpmiddelen die ze nodig hebben om de gezonde visuele ontwikkeling van hun kinderen te ondersteunen, op één plek te geven.
