Every diopter counts when it comes to myopia management in children.
Advertorial: Every diopter counts when it comes to myopia management in children.
Myopia in children is not just a refractive error; the risk of ocular complications increases exponentially with increasing levels of myopia.1 As such, it is critical to provide children who are at risk of developing high myopia with comprehensive treatment as early as possible.
By 2050, it is estimated that 10% of people worldwide will suffer from high myopia (spherical refractive error of ≤-6.00 diopters).
If insufficiently managed, high myopia is associated with an increased risk of complications, such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment or myopic macular degeneration. Therefore, managing high myopia as early as possible may help preserve children’s vision in the long term.
