Myopia is a progressive eye disorder which affects vision, quality of life and increases eye health risks across a personās lifetime.
It typically starts before age 10 and then deteriorates every few to several months until it stabilises in the late teens or early 20s.
Myopia control treatments are available to slow down the progression, or worsening, of childhood myopia. These include special types of spectacle lenses (glasses) and soft contact lenses.
These treatments are available at Ryde Opticians. Contact us to ask about myopia management options.
