Managing Myopia Progression - Slowing Down Short Sight

While myopia can't be cured, there are effective treatment options to help slow its progression, especially in cases of axial myopia. Encouraging more time outdoors and using specially designed glasses or contact lenses can reduce the risk of myopia reaching higher levels influenced by environmental factors.

Pathological myopia caused by some eye diseases or prematurity does not typically respond to these interventions. Starting a myopia management plan early—can reduce the additional impact of environmental factors and protect long-term eye health.
