FAQs

What is myopia control?

Myopia control is a personalized approach to managing nearsightedness progression in children and teenagers through monitoring and treatment recommendations.

How do I know if my child has myopia?

Common signs include squinting, blurry distance vision, sitting close to screens, difficulty seeing the board, headaches, or frequent prescription changes.

Can myopia get worse as children grow?

Yes. Myopia often progresses during childhood and teenage years, which is why regular monitoring and early care are important.

Is myopia control only for children?

Myopia control is most commonly recommended for children and teenagers because progression often happens while the eyes are still developing.

How often should my child be monitored?

Follow-up frequency depends on your child’s prescription, progression rate, age, and treatment plan. Your optometrist will recommend the right schedule.

Can screen time affect myopia?

Screen time and extended near work may contribute to visual strain, and balanced visual habits may support better long-term eye health.
