What Is Myopia?
Myopia (nearsightedness) occurs when distant objects appear blurry due to elongation of the eyeball. Once considered only a refractive error, myopia is now recognized as a progressive eye disease that increases the risk of retinal detachment, glaucoma, and myopic macular degeneration later in life.
Why Myopia Management Matters
Slowing myopia progression isn’t just about reducing prescription strength—it’s about protecting your child’s long-term eye health. Every one-diopter increase in myopia significantly raises the risk of serious eye disease.
