Myopia, often referred to as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is a prevalent eye condition characterized by the inability to see distant objects clearly. This occurs because, instead of having a perfectly spherical shape, the eye is elongated, resembling a football. Consequently, light rays focus in front of the retina, rather than directly on it.

The global incidence of myopia, particularly in children, has been growing exponentially. Projections indicate that by 2050, approximately 60% of the world's population will be affected by myopia. It is widely recognized that myopia is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and habitual factors. Early detection of myopia offers the opportunity to implement preventive measures to slow its progression. Tailored treatment plans are carefully discussed and designed to address your child's specific visual needs.
