  1. Progressive Myopia Common Questions and Answers https://nexuseyecare.com.au/

  2. What is Progressive Myopia? Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a prevalent eye condition that affects many people worldwide (expected to increase to 50% of the world’s population by 2050). It is characterised by a clear vision for nearby objects while distant objects appear blurry.

  3. What causes Progressive Myopia? Progressive myopia can be influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Children with myopic parents are at higher risk. Excessive near work (e.g., reading, screen time) and limited time spent outdoors are also contributing factors.

  4. What are the symptoms of progressive myopia? • Blurry vision when looking at distant objects • Squinting to see clearly • Frequent changes in prescription for glasses or contact lenses • Eye strain or headaches

  5. How is progressive myopia diagnosed? An eye care professional can diagnose progressive myopia during a comprehensive eye exam. They measure the degree of myopia and monitor changes over time to track progression.

  6. Can progressive myopia be stopped or slowed down? • While it cannot always be stopped, several treatments can slow down its progression: • Specially designed glasses or contact lenses (e.g., orthokeratology, multifocal lenses) • Atropine eye drops • Increased time spent outdoors and reduced screen time

  7. At what age does progressive myopia usually stabilize? Progressive myopia typically stabilizes in late adolescence or early adulthood, though in some cases, progression can continue into the 20s or beyond.

  8. Can progressive myopia be treated with surgery? Surgical options like LASIK or PRK can correct vision in adults with stable myopia, but they do not stop the progression in children or teens.
