What is Myopia?
At Eason Eyecare, we specialize in managing myopia, a condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects remain clear. Our advanced myopia management programs are designed to slow the progression of myopia, providing your child with clearer vision and a brighter future.
Left untreated, moderate to high myopia can significantly increase a person's risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases later in life. As the level of myopia increases, so does the risk of eye disease.
What Causes Myopia?
There are several factors that can contribute to the development of myopia. Genetics play a role, as myopia tends to run in families. Spending a lot of time reading or looking at screens and doing other forms of near work can also contribute to the development of myopia.
Myopia is not just an inconvenience; it can lead to serious eye health issues later in life, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts. Early intervention with our myopia management treatments can significantly reduce these risks, ensuring long-term eye health.
Myopia Treatment in Thomasville
The goal of myopia management is to slow down its progression because myopia increases the risk of eventually developing eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration. The higher the progression of myopia, the greater the risk. The earlier your child begins myopia management, even for mild myopia, the greater the benefits.
