Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, occurs when near objects appear clear but distant objects look blurry. 👓
It’s extremely common—about 30% of adults in Canada have myopia and require some form of vision correction.
Myopia often begins in childhood, when the eyes are still growing and developing. It can continue to progress through adolescence and young adulthood, leading to increasingly worse distance vision over time.
At Polar Eyes Optometry, we offer myopia management services using:
✨ Hoya’s award-winning MiYOSMART lenses
✨ Johnson & Johnson’s FDA approved Abiliti soft contact lenses
These innovative options are designed to help slow the progression of myopia and protect your child’s long-term eye health.
📅 Ask us about myopia management at your child’s next eye appointment!
