Myopia Control at Wood and Watson Opticians, HAle
What is myopia?
Myopia is the medical term for short-sightedness. This means objects in the distance become blurry, and this typically starts to develop during early school years eg aged 6-16 years.
Can we cure myopia?
Unfortunately we can’t cure myopia, but for children of school age, there are a number of techniques we can use that slow down it’s progression.
Please look at the 4 short videos below which provide more information on myopia and how to manage it.
