WHAT IS MYOPIA?
Generally, a newborns eyeball is shorter than
ideal, but its length increases with age. Under
normal conditions, the length of the globe of
the eye will increase to an ideal length by
adulthood. With the eyeball at an ideal length,
one will see well all the time, both near and
also at a distance. Myopia is the inability to
see things clearly unless they're relatively
close to your eyes. Also called nearsightedness
or shortsightedness, myopia is the most common
refractive error among children and young adults.

WHO IS AFFECTED BY MYOPIA?
Genetics play an important role in developing
myopia. A child where both parents are myopic
has a much higher chance of developing high
myopia (over 6.00 D) than one with only one or
no parent that is myopic(15). Asians also tend
to be much more susceptible to developing
myopiaearly in life. The progression of myopia
in Chinese according to many studies averages
at an 0.8 D increase per year between the ages
of 7-14 years old(4), which is in most cases the
fastest growth period in terms of the length of
the eyeball.

WHAT IS MYOPIA CONTROL?
Based on data obtained from the various
diagnostic tests done during the initial
consultation, as well as a relevant lifestyle
history, and genetic predisposition, doctors
will design a customized myopia prevention
program for the myopic patient. The primary
purpose of the treatment program is to maximally
slow down or stop the progression of
myopia. Slowing down myopia progression by 50
can reduce the chance of developing high myopia
by 90(10).
