\n\t<\/figure>\n\tSlowing the progression of Myopia in Children May Save Their Vision!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tChildren with medium to high myopia are at greatly increased risk for serious eye diseases that can cause vision loss or even blindness later in life. In fact high myopia is the 3rd most common cause for vision loss (see the study). People with high myopia are 126 times more likely to have myopic maculopathy, 44 times more likely to have retinal detachments, 5.5 times more likely to have cataracts and 3.3 times more likely to have glaucoma.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tWHEN DOES MYOPIA (NEARSIGHTEDNESS) USUALLY BEGIN?
\n<\/strong>Myopia tends to begin in school-aged children, and usually continues to progress until a person reaches roughly the age of 20. The longer it progresses, and the worse it gets, the higher your child’s risk of potentially sight- threatening eye conditions later in life.\n\t2.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tIS THERE AN IDEAL AGE FOR MYOPIA MANAGEMENT?
\n<\/strong>It is recommended to start myopia management as soon as possible, with best results found in children who started before the age of 9. However, myopia control can help children and teens of all ages.\n\t3.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tWHY IS MYOPIA <\/strong>MANAGEMENT <\/strong>IMPORTANT?
\n<\/strong>As the myopic eye elongates, it stretches the retina, the light- sensitive layer lining the back of the eye. Excessive stretching makes the eye more prone to tears, inflammation, the formation of new, weak blood vessels and scarring. This raises the risk of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic maculopathy. Safeguard your child’s vision with myopia management.\n\tProtect your child’s long-term vision and eye health.

<\/p>\n\t
1.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tWHEN DOES MYOPIA (NEARSIGHTEDNESS) USUALLY BEGIN?
\n<\/strong>Myopia tends to begin in school-aged children, and usually continues to progress until a person reaches roughly the age of 20. The longer it progresses, and the worse it gets, the higher your child’s risk of potentially sight- threatening eye conditions later in life.\n\t2.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tIS THERE AN IDEAL AGE FOR MYOPIA MANAGEMENT?
\n<\/strong>It is recommended to start myopia management as soon as possible, with best results found in children who started before the age of 9. However, myopia control can help children and teens of all ages.\n\t3.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tWHY IS MYOPIA <\/strong>MANAGEMENT <\/strong>IMPORTANT?
\n<\/strong>As the myopic eye elongates, it stretches the retina, the light- sensitive layer lining the back of the eye. Excessive stretching makes the eye more prone to tears, inflammation, the formation of new, weak blood vessels and scarring. This raises the risk of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic maculopathy. Safeguard your child’s vision with myopia management.\n\tProtect your child’s long-term vision and eye health.

FAQ | UNDERSTANDING MYOPIA MANAGEMENT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t
1.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tWHEN DOES MYOPIA (NEARSIGHTEDNESS) USUALLY BEGIN?
\n<\/strong>Myopia tends to begin in school-aged children, and usually continues to progress until a person reaches roughly the age of 20. The longer it progresses, and the worse it gets, the higher your child’s risk of potentially sight- threatening eye conditions later in life.\n\t2.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tIS THERE AN IDEAL AGE FOR MYOPIA MANAGEMENT?
\n<\/strong>It is recommended to start myopia management as soon as possible, with best results found in children who started before the age of 9. However, myopia control can help children and teens of all ages.\n\t3.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\tWHY IS MYOPIA <\/strong>MANAGEMENT <\/strong>IMPORTANT?
\n<\/strong>As the myopic eye elongates, it stretches the retina, the light- sensitive layer lining the back of the eye. Excessive stretching makes the eye more prone to tears, inflammation, the formation of new, weak blood vessels and scarring. This raises the risk of cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and myopic maculopathy. Safeguard your child’s vision with myopia management.\n\tProtect your child’s long-term vision and eye health. Contact our Algonquin optometry team regarding myopia management at Atkinson Eye Care today!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSCHEDULE APPOINTMENT\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t
