‘Overnight Sight’: A Real Remedy for Myopia available as a non-invasive treatment for children is now available in the Cary, North Carolina myopia treatment clinic of Cary Family Eye Care and under the care of Dr. Dwight Barnes, a recognized expert in Myopia Treatment.

Locally, it’s called Overnight Sight by Dr. Barnes, and it can be a groundbreaking treatment for the visual challenge called myopia, or nearsightedness.

Myopia is a condition that affects more than four of every 10 Americans and the rate is growing, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Similar to “a retainer for the eyes,” Overnight Sight is an FDA-approved myopia control treatment for children that helps them retain more overall visual clarity and mitigates the progression of myopia over time. Children diagnosed with myopia with or without mild to moderate astigmatism are the best candidates for this treatment.

Here’s how it works: Customized molds are made for the shape and size of the child’s eyes. When the child goes to sleep these molds are placed on the eyes and they are designed to reshape the surface of the eyes. When the child wakes up, he or she removes the molds and can expect to see clearly throughout the day, without the use of glasses or daytime contact lenses.

Also knows as ortho-keratology, Overnight Sight is one of the few treatments that is non-invasive, non-surgical, FDA approved, safe and effective to control myopia progression in children. With most myopia being diagnosed in children and becoming worse over time, Overnight Sight can be a valuable tool to lessen the progression of myopia and allow children to have clear vision without the aid of contact lenses or glasses.

Myopia is one of the more prevalent yet misunderstood afflictions, but residents of North Carolina are benefited by the work of Cary Family Eye Care and its Myopia Control Clinic, located in Cary, North Carolina. Inside the Research Triangle is one of the few clinics in America which specializes in slowing the progression of myopia, including the special treatment known as Overnight Sight.

Myopia grows progressively worse through adolescence and teenage years, which is why annual eye exams are so important. As myopia progresses to higher amounts it increases the chance of potentially blinding complications such as cataract, glaucoma, and retinal detachment.

Cary has one of the few clinics in America dedicated to treating myopia from the earliest stages and slowing its progression. The Myopia Control Clinic is run by Dr. Dwight Barnes, who specializes in myopia and is one of fewer than 150 doctors in the world with the highest certification in the myopia control specialty, as a Fellow of the International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control. This means that the Triangle has one of the world’s premier authorities on this condition in its own backyard.

If your child has been diagnosed with myopia, consider making an appointment with Cary Family Eye Care at (919) 465-7400, or visit the website at www.caryfamilyeyecare.com, and ask about Overnight Sight as a possible treatment option.
