What is Myopia?
Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina. This leads to blurred distance vision, making it hard to see far objects clearly.
While glasses or contact lenses can correct vision, they do not stop the underlying eye elongation, which increases the risk of severe eye diseases like:
- Retinal detachment
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
- Early cataracts
Research shows that early intervention can significantly slow down the progression of myopia in children and teenagers, reducing the risk of vision-threatening complications later in life.
Who Should Consider Myopia Control?
Children diagnosed with myopia before age 12
Kids with rapidly increasing power
Family history of high myopia
Excessive screen time or lack of outdoor activity
Struggling with vision despite regular glasses updates

At first, the cloudiness in your vision caused by a cataract may affect only a small part of the eye’s lens. You may not notice any vision loss. As the cataract grows larger, it clouds more of your lens. More clouding changes the light passing through the lens. This may lead to symptoms you notice more.

A medical exam includes diagnosis and treatment of an eye disease or malady (like glaucoma, conjunctivitis, or cataracts). A routine eye exam, on the other hand, includes diagnosis and treatment of non-medical complaints, like astigmatism, or farsightedness.
The symptoms can start so slowly that you may not notice them. The only way to find out if you have glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam. There’s no cure for glaucoma, but early treatment can often stop the damage and protect your vision.
