Why is Myopia control is important?
Progression of myopia in children's eyes is an inevitable process. Slowing the Myopia progression is the solution, through myopia control treatments. If left untreated it can bring many inconveniences and risks to children's eyes:
-
Children will have to change glasses regularly to achieve maximum vision.
-
High myopia increases the risk of other serious eye problems such as strabismus, amblyopia, retinal degeneration, cataracts, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment.
-
Severe myopia may make children limited in choosing surgical methods to treat refractive errors when they reach adulthood.
What is Myopia?
Myopia also known as nearsightedness, is a common vision condition in which you can see clearly at close but harder at a distant and the object appears blurry. Myopia occurs when the lens is too curved, or the eyeball axis is too long, so instead of being focused on the retina, the light is focused in front of the retina. Children with progressive type of Myopia ranges to 6-20 years old.
