About Progressive Myopia

The evidence seems to point to more time outdoors helping to reduce progression (more than 2 hours) in addition to devices being more than 35 cm away and breaking up near work every hour for 10 minutes. We will take baseline axial length measurements at Moorfields Eye Hospital when you come for the first visit.

At present, medication (low dose atropine), special glasses (MiYOSMART and Stellest) and special contact lenses (MiSight) are being used to reduce myopic progression.
