Myopia Control
Report
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is where the eyeball is too long, resulting in blurry vision in the distance. Usually, once you have myopia, especially at a young age, it tends to worsen over time. With each degree of increased myopia, your risks of eye diseases such as myopic maculopathy and retinal detachment increases few folds compared to those without myopia.
Low Vision
Report
Low vision means that even with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine or surgery, people find everyday tasks difficult to achieve. Reading the mail, shopping, cooking, seeing the TV, and writing can seem challenging. Living with a visual impairment can be difficult. Most people develop low vision because of eye diseases and health conditions like macular degenerations, cataract, glaucoma and diabetes.
