What is myopia?
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common condition where distant objects appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. While often diagnosed in childhood, myopia can worsen over time if left unchecked. Myopia can be caused by a combination of genetics, eye shape, and environmental factors such as prolonged near work or limited time outdoors.
Why is myopia management important?
Nearsightedness often begins with blurry distance vision, but as it progresses, it can increase your child’s risk of serious eye conditions later in life. Higher levels of myopia are linked to retinal detachment, glaucoma, cataracts, and myopic macular degeneration. All of these conditions can lead to permanent vision loss if left unmanaged.
Slowing myopia progression during childhood helps your child see clearly today while protecting their long-term eye health.
