AFRAID FOR MYOPIA DEVELOPEMENT?ORTHOK CAN BE THE WAY!


Nearly Half of the Global Population May Be Myopic by 2050” says the Brian Holden Institute

Myopia is a progressive visual disorder that results in poor distance vision. If the myopia is severe, it will impair near vision as well. Myopia is also known as “near-sighted” or “short-sighted.” In addition to weakening vision, it also changes the physical structure of the eye. It can steepen the front surface of the eye (cornea) and/or stretch the retina (axial elongation). These changes increase the risk of future eye disease. better-lemons.com

Myopia is anticipated to become a leading cause ofpermanent blindness worldwide.


THAT’S WHY WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TOGETHER!
