mymyopia

Heading to the NTE tradeshow floor today? We want to see you!

We're set up and ready to connect at booth 118. Whether you want to talk patient communication strategies, explore new resources, or just say hello, our door (well, booth!) is open.

With the long weekend finally here, you know the drill: unplug, step outside, and reset.

90-120 minutes outside every day significantly helps delay the onset of childhood myopia--among the plethora of other benefits. Set aside the phone, tablet, computer and embrace the great outdoors. Your eyes will thank you.

Thank you for visiting us BCDO! We had a wonderful time chatting with all of you about the future of myopia care.

BCDO may have wrapped up, but our conversation is just getting started. Reach out to us to stay engaged.

You know the stat: just 1 hour outside a day can reduce the likelihood of myopia. It's also a natural mood booster, physical activity enhancer, focus improver, and immune system helper. This year, don’t stop your spring cleaning at your backdoor; spend some time giving your outdoor space some love too.

What’s your favourite part of your outdoor space?

Happy World Book Day!

If you're like us and plan on cozying up with a good book today, make sure you:

✅ Follow 20-20-20 rule. Every twenty minutes, look at something feet away for 20 seconds.
✅ Read in a well-lit room. Position light sources behind you to avoid glare.
✅ Support your back and neck. Prop books up on your lap or a pillow for optimal comfort.

What are you reading today?

It's no coincidence that spending time outdoors is good for your eyes and your wellbeing.

Reducing myopia risk is just one benefit. Being in nature improves quality of life, reduces stress, and strengthens our connection to our communities. Protecting our planet goes beyond an environmental duty; it's essential for ensuring that future generations have access to the natural spaces that sustain us.

How do you leave your community better than you found it?

Is your child spending too much time indoors? Worried about their axial length but can’t find a 4-kilometre-wide prairie in the middle of the city?

Introducing: The InfiniteHorizon™ Mirror System.

Using a proprietary array of industrial-grade, precision-aligned mirrors, we’ve solved the "near work" dilemma once and for all. This state-of-the-art installation transforms a standard bedroom into a sprawling, 4-kilometre-wide optical dreamscape.

Happy April Fool’s Day from the mymyopia team! 😅

While we haven't mastered folding space yet, we do have evidence-based resources that actually work. Skip the mirrors and visit the link in our bio to find real strategies for your child’s vision health.

Today, we celebrate the optometrists and eye care providers that dedicate their lives to helping others see clearly and comfortably. We know vision care starts at a young age, and our members aim to detect and manage myopia from childhood, helping kids see clearly so they can perform in school, sports, and hobbies.

Thank you for everything you do, optometrists!

What if you could protect your child’s vision while they sleep? 🌙✨

Myopia (nearsightedness) is about the long-term health of your child's eyes, not just needing glasses. If the eye grows too long, the risk for serious issues like retinal detachment and glaucoma increases later in life.

Orthokeratology (ortho-k) lenses are custom-fitted and worn only at night to reshape the cornea gently.

In the morning, your child can experience:
✅ Clear, crisp vision all day without glasses.
✅ A proven way to slow down the progression of myopia.
✅ The freedom to run, swim, and play without worrying about broken frames or lost contacts.

Refractive error is only half the story. The clinical priority in myopia management is controlling Axial Length to mitigate long-term effects.

Axial elongation often accelerates years before the first myopic prescription is written. The most rapid growth typically occurs between ages 6 and 12, making early intervention the standard of care.

Evidence-Based Intervention:
👉 DIMS/HALT Technology Spectacles
👉 Peripheral Defocus Soft Contact Lenses
👉 Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
👉 Low-Dose Atropine (0.01%–0.05%)
