Myopia Clinic
A Myopia Clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating myopia (nearsightedness), where distant objects appear blurry while close objects are seen clearly. The clinic provides comprehensive eye exams, prescribes corrective lenses, and offers advanced treatments like orthokeratology (overnight contact lenses) or refractive surgery. It also implements myopia control strategies to slow progression in children and adolescents.
