Myopia Control Clinic
Myopia Control encompasses the techniques available to us as eye doctors that we can use to help slow down progression of your, or your child’s, myopia. Myopia (or near-sightedness) is becoming an epidemic across the globe. Environmental and genetic factors can contribute to increasing amounts of myopia in young children, adolescents, teens, or even young adults. We now have the scientific evidence to support strategies that can help slow, or in some cases even halt, the progression of myopia.
