What is Myopia?

Myopia is a progressive and irreversible eye disease. It’s common vision symptom is nearsightedness or the inability to see distant objects clearly. The underlying cause of myopia is due to the eye growing longer than it should.

An eye with myopia is longer from front to back than the eye without myopia. Generally, as the eye grows longer, visual impairment becomes more drastic.

What Are the Long-Term Implications of Myopia?

Myopia progression, left untreated, increases the risk of sight-threatening conditions later in life, including:

  • Retinal detachment

  • Myopic Maculopathy

  • Glaucoma

  • Cataract

What Causes Myopia?

GENETICS
When parents have myopia, their genetic risk may be passed along to their children.

LIFESTYLE

Research shows that modern lifestyles may influence the development of myopia.

Myopia Levels

There is no safe level of myopia. But if we can graduate children from high school no worse than -3.00 D, their risk of sight threatening eye health conditions is significantly lower. The younger they are, the faster their myopia can often get worse.
