Treat your child’s myopia
Early myopia intervention can help your child now and reduce their long-term eye health risks. We offer non-surgical treatments proven to slow myopia progression in children.
The Danger of Myopia
Studies now show there is more to worry about with myopic eyes than the inconvenience of ever-thickening glasses. Scientific evidence has proven that myopic patients are more vulnerable to a range of sight-threatening diseases and complications.
Patients with mild myopia have a four-fold increase in the risk of retinal detachment. For those with moderate to severe myopia, the risk increases ten times. One study concluded that more than 50 percent of retinal detachments not related to trauma are associated with myopia. Other myopia risks include glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
Myopia can now be treated
The dangers of myopia, combined with the everyday challenges of poor vision, make it important for parents to treat this condition as a real part of their child’s eye health. The goal of myopia management is to slow or even stop the progression of myopia and reduce its long-term impact. The younger myopia management begins, the more effective the treatment.
