What Is Myopia and Why Does It Matter?
Myopia is a common refractive error that causes distant objects to appear blurry while close objects remain clear. It often develops during childhood and can progress as a child grows.
Untreated or worsening myopia doesn’t just affect vision—it can increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Early intervention through myopia management is key to preserving vision and maintaining long-term eye health.
