MYOPIA CONTROL
WHAT IS MYOPIA
Myopia is also known as shortsightedness, or “Rabun Jauh” in Malay, and “近视” in Mandarin. Myopia is a condition whereby the point of focus is in front of the retina due to the elongation of the eyeball, making distant objects appear blurry.
MYOPIA CONTROL
ELONGATED EYEBALL
Imagine our eye is like a balloon, the more it grows the weaker it gets. As myopia power increases, our eyeballs will elongate. However, they won’t pop just like balloons, but they possess a higher risk for eye diseases, such as retinal detachment, macular degeneration, and glaucoma if myopia progresses more than -6.00.
MYOPIA CONTROL
3-13 YEARS OLD
GOLDEN WINDOW
Normally, optometrists can project the progression of myopia for a kid until they grow up. For example, if a 7-year-old has myopia of -1.50 with a history of increasing -0.75 every year, it is very likely they will reach -6.00 by the age of 13. If left untreated at a younger age, they are at higher risk of getting permanent vision problems later in life due to high myopia.
