Myopia management

Myopia management refers to strategies aimed at slowing the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children and adolescents. It includes various approaches such as specially designed contact lenses or glasses, atropine eye drops, and lifestyle changes like increased outdoor activity. The goal is to reduce the risk of severe vision problems later in life, as myopia can lead to complications like glaucoma or retinal detachment. By actively managing myopia, healthcare providers help young individuals maintain better long-term eye health and vision quality.
