Why Aren鈥檛 Glasses Enough for My Child鈥檚 Myopia?

Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common condition where the shape of the eye elongates irregularly. While it鈥檚 not exclusive to children, myopia tends to emerge at a young age and get progressively worse until about age 20. Glasses can correct myopic vision, but they won鈥檛 address the underlying cause of the condition. Because the lenses do not sit directly on the eye, they cannot affect the shape of the cornea as it continues to elongate. Because untreated myopia only worsens with age and increases the risk of developing other eye issues as an adult, it is important to intervene early and with proper care.
