Myopia Control

If there is a family history of myopia and myopia is increasing year on year then there is now proven options to slow the rate of progression. Myopia small or large is not desirable and carries with it an increased risk of a retinal detachment or glaucoma later in life. Even -1.00D doubles the risk of an event causing permanent loss is vision in their lifetime compared to a person who is not shortsighted. -5.00 patients have a 32 times risk compared to a person who is not shortsighted. So controlling the myopia progression in those early vital years to lower the eventual amount of myopia is important.
