Myopia Control in Toronto
Managing Myopia for Clearer Vision
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition that can progress over time, especially in children. According to the WHO, this rapid increase has escalated into a significant public health issue. Globally, myopia is also on the rise, with projections indicating that by 2050, nearly half of the world's population will be myopic.

Using advanced techniques like specialty contact lenses and tailored treatment plans, we help manage myopia effectively and reduce the risk of future complications. Protect your child’s vision and set them on the path to a brighter, clearer future with our personalized myopia control solutions.
Why is an increase in Myopia a concern?
An increase in myopia is more than just needing stronger glasses — it’s linked to serious eye health risks. Higher levels of myopia are associated with co-morbidities such as retinal detachment, sub-retinal neovascularization, dense cataracts, and glaucoma, all of which can lead to severe and irreversible vision loss. Additionally, higher prescriptions often require thicker lenses, which can impact comfort and aesthetics. Managing myopia early is essential to reducing these risks and protecting long-term eye health.
