MYOPIA CONTROL CLINIC
We are wholly involved in the revolutionary efforts worldwide in managing myopia (nearsightedness) with patient-centered treatment options to slow the progression of myopia based on the latest advances in research.
Myopia control is important because it may help reduce the risk of vision-threatening complications associated with high myopia later in life — including glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment and even blindness.
By 2050, it’s predicted that 50% of the population will have myopia, with 10% having high levels of myopia (>-5.00D); creating a potential major public health crisis. Research shows that there are ways to delay the onset and manage the progression of myopia, giving better visual outcomes for the children with myopia and who are at risk for myopia progression.
Our optometrists are highly trained and qualified to provide solutions to slow the progression of myopia in your child with the use of specialty contact lenses that are comfortable, allow your child to see without glasses all while slowing the progression of nearsightedness.
