Why Is Myopia Control Important?
High myopia may increase the long-term risk of serious eye conditions such as:
- Retinal detachment
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Retinal thinning

Early myopia management may help reduce the speed of progression and lower future vision-related complications.
Common Causes of Increasing Myopia
- Excessive screen time
- Reduced outdoor activity
- Long hours of near work
- Online learning habits
- Genetic factors
- Continuous mobile usage
Myopia progression has become increasingly common among school-going children and teenagers.
