What is MYOPIA?

MYOPIA, commonly known as nearsightedness, is when the eye is longer than it should be, leading to blurry distance vision.

What causes it?

Myopia is on the rise – in its frequency and its severity. The reason for its escalation has been linked to two factors

Genetics
Kids with one or two myopic parents are more likely to be myopic

Lifestyle
Spending more time on activities like reading or using handheld devices instead of spending time outdoors increase the likelihood of becoming myopic.

Myopia Management
This is a treatment program prescribed by eye doctors to control the progression or slowing the progression of myopia. It reduces the long term risks to best ensure that you or your child enjoys seeing the world with healthy eyes.
