For much of our working careers helping young people who were myopic (short-sighted) was simply a matter of prescribing glasses or contact lenses. Then adjusting the strength of the prescription as eyesight continued to deteriorate through the teenage years.
These days we know so much more about myopia, and how to we can manage myopia to try to slow down the rate of progression.
The best time to start is before eyes have become myopic, when we can identify young eyes at risk.
This tool shows how we evaluate the risk of a child developing myopia.
The good news - we can modify environmental risk factors.
