What Is Myopia Control?
Myopia control is a crucial aspect of eye care, leveraging diverse methodologies and therapies to help restrain the advancement of myopia. Together with you and your child, we can establish a comprehensive understanding of myopia and the approach to manage it.
We prescribe myopia management methods and supervise your child’s vision to adjust our plan as they grow.
