Slow Down Myopia

Myopia (nearsightedness) is on the rise worldwide. As one of the most common vision impairments, many health experts are concerned that half the world will have myopia by 2050. Statistics like that can be surprising, but the good news is that myopia is correctable.

When it comes to myopia control, beginning early leads to the best outcomes, which is why management starts at a young age. Myopia can’t be reversed, but you can protect your child’s visual development. You can learn more about managing your child’s eye care by booking an appointment for an eye exam.

Myopia is more than slightly blurry vision. If ignored, the condition can worsen. The progression of myopia can lead to significant eye health issues, including retinal detachment, degenerative myopia (blindness), or glaucoma.

Treatment options include:

Don’t let myopia stop your child from enjoying everyday activities. There’s a solution that’s right for your child. Consult with your eye doctor to find the most effective and comfortable treatment options.
