For a long time, myopia was seen as just a prescription to be updated. But today, Optometrists are shifting to a “more than glasses” mindset.

We now know that through evidence-based techniques—like specialized contact lenses, myopia-control glasses, and eye drops—we can actually slow down the elongation of the eye.

The goal? Clearer vision today and a reduced risk of serious eye diseases tomorrow.

Is your child’s prescription increasing every year? Don't just change the lenses—change the trajectory of their eye health.

As myopia progresses, the risk of developing serious sight-threatening conditions later in life increases significantly. One of those conditions is Glaucoma.

What’s the link? When a child’s eye grows too long (the physical cause of myopia), the internal structures of the eye are stretched and thinned. This structural change can make the optic nerve more vulnerable to damage, increasing the risk of glaucoma—a leading cause of irreversible blindness.

The good news? Taking proactive steps now to slow the progression of myopia in children can help reduce their risk of developing glaucoma and other complications in adulthood.
