Thank you for taking the myopia assessment quiz!
Based on this assessment, the child’s likelihood of developing myopia is:What’s next:Measuring and monitoring children's eye health, even from an early age, is highly recommended. For example, every additional diopter of myopia (ex. prescription change from -2D to -3D) increases the risk of Myopic Macular Degeneration, a sight-threatening eye disease, by 67%.9 To have the biggest impact on managing your child's myopia, it is important to act early. Discuss and consult with an eye doctor who specializes in myopia management to learn about treatments to manage your child's myopia.
