Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Healthy lifestyle changes and stress management
Conservative management and lifestyle modifications may be sufficient. Monitor symptoms.
Serial Refractive Error Assessment
Conduct regular comprehensive eye examinations including manifest and cycloplegic refraction to monitor autosomal dominant myopia progression and adjust interventions accordingly.
Spectacle Correction
Provide individually prescribed glasses or contact lenses to correct myopic refractive error, improving functional vision and quality of life.
Additional treatment options
Refractive Lens Exchange Evaluation
For high myopia cases not suitable for corneal laser procedures, evaluate lens-based surgery options including phakic intraocular lens implantation.
surgicalVision Therapy and Binocular Function Training
Implement targeted vision therapy exercises to improve accommodative function, convergence, and overall visual efficiency in conjunction with corrective lenses.
complementaryMultifocal Soft Contact Lens Fitting
Fit specially designed multifocal or center-distance soft contact lenses to reduce retinal defocus and slow myopia progression in children and young adults.
