Myopia is another name for nearsightedness. It causes blurred vision when viewing objects at a distance.
As the most common cause of blurred vision symptoms in teens, about one in five 12-year-olds in the United States has myopia.
The cause of myopia isn't clear, but a few risk factors include:
To address the growing problem of nearsightedness in young people in the US, we opened the Myopia Treatment Center.
The center focuses on the prevention, study, and treatment of myopia.
We're also a resource for parents to get solid advice and proper surveillance of their child's nearsightedness.
When a doctor refers your child to the Myopia Treatment Center, we'll first check the level of his or her nearsightedness.
Children with high myopia also will have a genetic test to find out if there's a genetic basis for their nearsightedness.
