Progressive myopia is nearsightedness that worsens year after year in childhood. If myopia progresses enough, it can become high myopia, which is severe nearsightedness. High myopia increases a child's risk of developing several sight-threatening complications in adulthood.

Myopia progression usually occurs during childhood and adolescence. However, it can also continue into early adulthood.

Nearsightedness is often caused by the eyeballs growing a little too long from front to back. In some people, this growth continues, so the myopia continues to get worse.

It isn’t fully understood why only some nearsighted children develop progressive myopia. But evidence points to clear links between myopia development, time spent outdoors and near-work activities.

Take all your vision concerns to the professional team at Rosewall-McCarthy Optometrists.

Myopia is one of the most common eye disorders in the world. Researchers estimate that roughly half of the world's population will have myopia by the year 2050.

Some children who develop myopia (nearsightedness) have a continual progression of their myopia. They need higher eyeglass prescriptions year after year. This is progressive myopia, and it begins in early childhood.

Research has shown that the younger a child develops myopia, the faster their myopia can progress. And the faster myopia progresses, the more myopic the child will become.

Please have your children seen by Rosewall-McCarthy Optometrists for a comprehensive eye exam. In our next post we’ll discuss the issue of progressive myopia in greater detail, followed by ways to try and keep children's eyesight as healthy as possible.

EYE ALLERGIES AND CONTACT LENSES

Red, itchy, watery eyes are the distinctive signs and symptoms of allergies.

Contact lens discomfort is a common complaint during allergy season, leading some wearers to question whether they are becoming allergic to contact lenses.

Studies have shown that the culprit behind eye allergies associated with contact lens wear is not an allergic reaction to the contact lens itself, but to substances that accumulate on the surface of the lenses.

If you’re a contact lens wearer and struggling during dry weather and allergy season, talk to Rosewall-McCarthy Optometrists for solid professional input!

Our blustery August winds seem to have arrived with gusto! Have you found your eyes to be itchier and scratchier than usual? Windy weather can cause eye trouble primarily by drying out the eyes and irritating them with dust and pollen, leading to symptoms like stinging, burning, itching, and redness.

Talk to your friendly eyecare team at Rosewall-McCarthy Optometrists for workable solutions. These include protective sunglasses and over-the-counter artificial tears to keep eyes lubricated. (We’re happy to advise you on the best options!) It’s also important to get out of the habit of rubbing your eyes!
