The higher your minus prescription, the more your retina deserves attention. 👀 Myopia isn’t just blurry vision, it’s often a longer eyeball. As the eye elongates, the retina is stretched and can become more vulnerable to retinal tears and detachment. That’s why annual dilated eye exams matter even when you’re young and seeing perfectly with glasses. This is exactly why we preach myopia control in kids. Slowing myopia progression can help reduce their lifetime risk of retinal detachment, myopic macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts.
