Progressive myopia not only impacts a child’s daily life but also increases the risk of serious eye conditions, such as retinal detachment and glaucoma, later in life. Advancements in eye care have introduced effective management solutions, like MiSight® contact lenses, designed specifically to slow the progression of myopia in kids.
