There is a new modality in the medical treatment of myopia. Now low strength atropine drops have been tried to correct myopia since it is supposed to reduce the axial length of an eyeball and thus correct myopia. Now as far as children are concerned with myopia of age group of 8 to 10 years new contact lenses by the name of ortho k are used these special type of contact lenses are put during night as a result they cause corneal reshaping and thus correct myopia for one to two days these special type of c lenses are also supposed to arrest progress of myopia by 40 percent they are also helpful in children who want to go for sports say swimming ortho k lenses are also used in astigmatism, hyperopia and also presbyopia.
