Myopia Control Eye Drops Orlando and Lake Nona, FL
Myopia has increased due to the increased time spent indoors & on electronics.
Myopia is no longer just a nuisance that involves getting new glasses or contacts every year. We are now seeing it as it truly is – a pandemic. More people now are nearsighted than 100 years ago, and the percentage keeps growing. High myopia increases the risk of other eye- and sight-threatening conditions, including glaucoma and retina detachments. It is imperative that we stop the progression now that we can. https://www.who.int/blindness/causes/MyopiaReportforWeb.pdf
