Myopia Management
What is Myopia? It's commonly known as "nearsightedness". It's a growing vision condition that affects your ability to see far distance. Every year, the amount of Myopia should only change in small increments. If the Doctor finds that there's been a significant change in Myopia in one or both eyes, it is recommended to start treatment in order to control the progression - especially at a young age and in children.
​
High Myopia, if left uncontrolled, will create a higher risk of developing ocular diseases such Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Cataracts and Retinal Detachments. These ocular diseases can then leave permanent vision changes.
