Can Myopia Improve?
Blurry vision is a common problem for many children. If you’ve noticed your child squinting to see the chalkboard, or you find yourself holding books closer than usual, it could be myopia—a condition more commonly called “nearsightedness.” So can myopia be reversed? How can you help?
Myopia can’t naturally be reversed, but it can easily be treated with your optometrist’s help. Progression can be slowed, and lenses in the form of glasses or contacts can correct your child’s eyesight. Myopia control offers a way to preserve your child’s future vision by slowing the eye’s growth and limiting the intensity of the developing myopia. For adults, laser eye surgery does exist as a more permanent way to correct myopia. […]
Can Myopia Be Reversed? What Are Your Options?
Do you find it hard to see things that are far away? You might be one of the millions dealing with myopia, an increasingly common condition that we more often call nearsightedness.

A significant yet often overlooked consequence of a concussion is its impact on vision. Many athletes and concussion patients experience vision problems following an injury, which can be both frustrating and concerning. So, how long […]
