Myopia Management

Myopia, more commonly known as nearsightedness, is a condition where individuals are able to see objects that are close to them but may have difficulty distinguishing things at a distance, such as road signs or leaves on a tree. These individuals often squint at objects that are further away to try and help bring them into focus. If Myopia starts at an earlier age (usually less than 10 years), then it can potentially quickly progress throughout adolescence. High myopia has shown to have increased risk factors for retinal detachment and glaucoma.

Currently, there is no known cure for myopia and recent studies suggest that the more advanced your myopia gets, the more serious the effects can be on your vision. Although there is no known cure for Myopia, there are techniques to slow down rate of progression.
