About Myopia Management
Myopia is a condition where distant objects appear blurry due to the elongation of the eyeball, causing light to focus in front of the retina. It often begins during the primary school years and tends to worsen as the child grows. Studies show that nearly 30% of the global population currently has myopia—a figure expected to rise to 50% by 2050.
Our clinic provides expert care to monitor and manage this progression early on. By detecting signs of myopia early, we can implement strategies to minimise its impact and protect your child’s vision for the future.
Children with one or both myopic parents are more likely to develop myopia themselves. Other contributing factors include excessive screen time, close-up tasks (like reading or using tablets), and limited outdoor activity.
