A recent report from Channel NewsAsia sheds light on the connection between high myopia and a greater risk of developing glaucoma.
While glasses, LASIK, or implantable collamer lenses (ICL) can correct blurry vision, they do not change the underlying eye structure in highly myopic individuals. The anatomical changes associated with high myopia continue to increase the lifetime risk of glaucoma and other serious eye conditions.
This is why Myopia Control goes beyond simply reducing spectacle power — it focuses on slowing progression to help lower future complications.
Taking action early can significantly protect long-term eye health.
Experts explain whether Lasik or lens implants affect your risk, and how a hair strand-like microshunt could reduce reliance on lifelong eye drops for patients.
