About myopia
More children are getting myopia at younger ages – partly due to a rise in sedentary indoor lifestyles and an increasing amount of time spent in near activities. The younger a child develops myopia, the further it evolves, the higher it becomes. Even with corrected lenses, their daily life may be impacted after a few months.
Studies showed that high myopia may lead to vision impairment that can no longer be corrected through standard lenses. It can even increase risk of ocular complications later in life.
