Myopia Management

Myopia is sometimes known as short-sightedness or near-sightedness. Distance vision is obscured when the focal point is in front of rather than on the retina. The blurrier the eyesight grows the further the focus point is from the retina. This is particularly important for children, whose education and leisure activities, such as sports, may be jeopardised.

What is Myopia?

You may be wondering what the difference is. Myopia correction is a frequent treatment approach for myopia. Simply said, spectacles or contact lenses are prescribed to push the focal point onto the retina, producing a focused image. Myopia, on the other hand, worsens with age, until late adolescence or early adulthood. This occurs at a particularly rapid rate between the ages of 8 and 15.
