Myopia Management

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent condition that affects distance vision, making distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects remain clear. This condition often starts in childhood and typically worsens as the eye continues to grow and elongate, leading to a progressive increase in myopia. The higher the level of myopia, the greater the risk of developing serious eye health problems later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and myopic maculopathy.

The growing concern over the rapid rise in myopia, particularly among children and young adults, has led to significant advancements in the field of myopia management. Research now shows that it is possible to slow down the progression of myopia, which not only helps improve quality of vision in the short term but also reduces the risk of long-term vision-threatening complications. This is where myopia management plays a crucial role in safeguarding eye health over the course of a lifetime.
