When a child’s eyeball grows too rapidly relative to the usual pace of eye growth, myopia occurs. It may also develop if the cornea, the transparent window in front of the eye, curves too sharply. Light rays are unable to reach the retina when they enter the eye, which makes nearby objects look clear and distant objects look blurry.
Although it cannot be cured or reversed, myopia can be managed and treated. The treatment’s objectives are to strengthen your child’s vision and stop it from deteriorating. Managing myopia is crucial for maintaining their eye health.
