Nearsightedness:
\n<\/strong>NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE<\/h2>\n\t

Although eyeglasses and standard contact lenses can correct a person’s vision, they do not treat the underlying cause of myopia or slow its progression. Myopia significantly increases the risk of developing sight-threatening eye diseases later in life, such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration. The higher your child’s myopia, the greater the risk. If you’re concerned about your child’s long-term eye health and vision, contact the Myopia Management Center at Atkinson Eye Care in Algonquin today.<\/p>\n
