Struggling to see the whiteboard in class or distant road signs clearly? You or your child might have myopia (nearsightedness or short-sightedness) — a common vision problem where close objects appear sharp, but distant ones look blurry.
Myopia is increasing rapidly in Bangladesh, especially among children and young adults due to extensive screen time, less outdoor play, and genetics. The good news? Effective myopia treatment in Bangladesh is now widely available with modern options for both correction and control.
In this guide, we’ll explain myopia, available treatments, costs, and where to get expert care in Dhaka.
Myopia occurs when the eyeball is slightly longer than normal or the cornea is too curved. Light focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it, causing blurred distance vision.
If left unmanaged, especially in children, myopia can progress quickly and increase the risk of serious eye problems later, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, or macular degeneration.
Early myopia treatment in Dhaka can correct vision and, more importantly, slow its progression in growing eyes.
Treatment depends on age, degree of myopia, lifestyle, and whether the goal is simply correction or slowing progression (myopia control).
Here are the main options available at leading eye hospitals:
Prescription Glasses and Contact Lenses The simplest and most common solution. Optometrists provide accurate prescriptions for clear, comfortable vision. Special myopia control glasses or soft contact lenses can help slow progression in children.
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses Special rigid contact lenses worn only at night. They gently reshape the cornea while you sleep, providing clear daytime vision without glasses or lenses. Popular for active children and teens.
Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops Proven pharmaceutical treatment that slows myopia progression in children by up to 50-60%. Safe, used once daily at bedtime, with minimal side effects when prescribed in low concentration (0.01%–0.05%).
Refractive Surgery for Permanent Correction For adults (usually 18+ with stable power):
LASIK / Femto-LASIK — Quick laser procedure to reshape the cornea.
SMILE — Minimally invasive, bladeless option with faster recovery.
PRK — Suitable for thinner corneas.
ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) — Excellent for high myopia or thin corneas where LASIK isn’t suitable.
Lifestyle Changes & Myopia Control Programs The 20-20-20 rule, increased outdoor time (at least 2 hours daily), proper lighting, and reduced near-work help prevent rapid progression.
Children & Teens: Focus on myopia control to slow progression. Options include atropine drops, special myopia-control lenses, Ortho-K, and regular monitoring. Early intervention is crucial.
Adults: Usually seek freedom from glasses. Refractive surgeries like LASIK or ICL offer excellent, long-lasting results.
Costs vary by hospital, technology, and package. Here are typical ranges:
Glasses / Standard Contact Lenses: ৳2,000 – ৳15,000 (one-time or annual)
Myopia Control Lenses or Ortho-K: ৳20,000 – ৳60,000+
Low-Dose Atropine Drops: ৳1,000 – ৳3,000 per month (with follow-ups)
LASIK (Both Eyes): ৳80,000 – ৳160,000 (depending on standard or advanced Femto/SMILE)
SMILE or ICL: ৳120,000 – ৳200,000+ for both eyes
