Myopia Clinic
Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming increasingly common among children worldwide.
Myopia usually starts in school-age children and tends to increase until the late teens. Higher myopia raises the risk of eye problems later in life, so slowing it down matters.

- Power increasing every year
