Myopia control has recently been in the news, and now even ophthalmology studies confirm that bifocals can slow down myopia progression. Eye Doc News reports that:
A good study in Archives demonstrates that executive bifocals (+1.50) do retard myopia in fast-progressing myopes among children. After 2 years, axial length was .62 and myopia about -.50 more in the single vision compared to bifocal group- statistically significant, and if true over several years, very important to public health.
So set up an appointment to see if your child could benefit from bifocals to slow his/her nearsighted progression.
