A Closer Look at Myopia

Structural factors - In some individuals, their sclera (white outer layer of the eye) is more flexible, making it easier for the eye to stretch as it grows.

Looking out for you & your child's eyesight should be your priority.

Genetics - If one or both parents have myopia, their children will have higher chance of developing myopia.

Environmental factors - Long hours of reading or screen use at close distance, coupled with insufficient outdoor time.

These symptoms may indicate Myopia, commonly known as short-sightedness or near-sightedness. Myopia is a vision condition that is becoming increasingly common, affecting a large population today.

Myopia usually develops gradually over time, rather than appearing suddenly. Due to this, early signs - particularly in children are often missed. Many children may not realize they are experiencing a vision problem, as they naturally assume what they see is normal and may not yet understand what "clear vision" truly means.

Myopia is actually a refractive condition where the eye focuses light in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This happens mainly because the eyeball grows slightly longer than normal, or the cornea is too curved, causing distance to appear blurry.

Glasses can helps to correct vision, but it don't slow it's progression.

Trouble changing from near to far focus or vice versa, or trouble maintaining focus for reading.

IMPORTANCE OF MYOPIA CONTROL

Amblyopia
