Myopia (nearsightedness) is an eye condition caused by excess growth and stretching at the back of the eye. Conventional eyeglasses and contact lenses can correct blurriness, yet do not treat the progressive nature of Myopia. The higher the Myopia, the longer the eye and therefore increased risk for complications that may cause serious irreversible vision loss. The sooner your child’s myopia is managed, the less the risk of developing ocular complications later in life.
Why should you be interested in Myopia Clinic?
Because slowing the progression of Myopia may keep your child from developing high levels of nearsightedness that require thick, corrective eyeglasses and have been associated with serious eye problems later in life, such as early cataracts or even retinal detachment.
The Myopia Clinic provides the latest treatments that can slow or halt the progression of Myopia in children. Addressing your child’s Myopia now may reduce the chance that they will develop sight-threatening complications later in life. Children who develop Myopia earlier on and those who have large amounts of myopia are more likely to need treatment.
