MYOPIA CONTROL

WHAT IS MYOPIA?

Myopia or nearsightedness is a very common problem that makes it hard to see things across
the room and far away. Usually it occurs because the eyeball grows too long during childhood. There can be other causes too, and if both parents are nearsighted, there is a greater risk their children will be nearsighted too.

TREATMENT FOR MYOPIA

The younger a patient is when treatment starts and persists, the better the long term outcome. The treatment has been proven to slow the progression.

POSSIBLE LONG-TERM COMPLICATIONS OF MYOPIA

While nearsightedness can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery, it can also lead to a range of long-term complications if left untreated or uncontrolled. These following complications can affect various parts of the eye and may develop gradually over time, making it crucial for individuals to undergo regular eye exams and take proactive measures to manage their condition. 

CATARACTS

Most cataracts are associated with the aging process, so nearly everyone who lives long is at risk. But cataracts tend to develop sooner
in near sighted eyes.

GLAUCOMA

Nearsighted people have
a two to three times greater
risk of glaucoma, according to an Australian study. Glaucoma is usually due to high pressure in the eye, which damages
the optic nerve and causes vision loss.

DETACHED RETINA

Nearsightedness increases the risk of retinal detachment – and the higher the myopia, the greater the risk. If the retina pulls away from the eye’s supportive tissue, permanent vision
loss can occur.
