[Myopia boom: how to slow the progress ?]

Myopia boom: how to slow the progress? Myopia is an optical defect linked to an excessive elongation of the eyeball resulting in a blurred vision from afar. The last few years have seen an emergence of this phenomenon, which although partly genetic, mainly presents environmental risk factors such as low exposure to sunlight or prolonged near reading. Current generations are more myopic than prior generations and are so at a younger age. Detected early, myopia control management can help slow its progression in children and ensure a better quality of life. Why is myopia soaring? How to slow its progression in our children? Several optical methods are now possible and it is essential to properly inform parents about these too little known possibilities.
