HALTING THE PROGRESSION OF MYOPIA

CURRENT RESEARCH

Research is showing that that there are methods to slow or prevent the 

progression of myopia, but the actions work best when the child is younger. 

Myopic changes are generally permanent; they don't get better with treatment. 

Treatment should therefore be designed to prevent the development and 

progression and to do that requires eye examinations to start at a young age, 

approximately five years old for yearly exams. There are no guarantees that any 

specific treatment will work for an individual person but the lack of early care 

prevents any potential benefit from starting early.

MYOPIA OR SHORT SIGHTEDNESS

WHAT IS MYOPIA ?
 

Myopia, also called nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is the eye condition 

where objects nearby or a short distance away are clear but objects that are far 

away are blurred. It is caused by the eye being slightly too long.





WHY SHOULD YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT MYOPIA ?

Myopia is getting worse around the world, even to the point of being EQUAL TO 

AN EPIDEMIC. In some parts of Asia, 80% of the girls in high school are myopic. 

It has become an issue of monumental importance affecting over a billion people 

around the world and it is getting worse.
