Understanding Myopia

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close-up objects are seen clearly. It's a refractive error that affects millions worldwide.

Progressive Myopia

A more severe type that worsens over time, leading to significant visual impairment.

Treatment Options

Specially designed to slow myopia progression but with limited clinical evidence.

Contact Lenses
