Myopia Management

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is increasingly affecting people worldwide, making it challenging to see distant objects clearly. If current trends continue, more than 50% of the global population is projected to be myopic by 2050, with 10% expected to experience high levels of myopia.

The truth is, we’re facing an epidemic of blindness unless we act quickly. Fortunately, the outlook is brighter if we focus on prevention and prompt treatment to slow its progression.

Benefits of Myopia Management

Slower progression of myopia
This reduces the need for stronger prescriptions in the future.

Reduced risk of future eye problems
Myopia is linked to eye diseases like glaucoma and retinal detachment. Early intervention can help lower these risks.

Improved quality of life
Clear vision without glasses or contact lenses can boost your child’s confidence and participation in activities.
