What results can you expect from OVC (1)

Untreated Myopia means that your child’s Myopia will get progressively worse over time.

Patients with Moderate Myopia have a higher chance of other serious eye disorders than patients with no or Mild Myopia, including

  • Double the risk of Glaucoma
  • Triple the risk of developing Cataracts
  • Nine Times the risk of a Detached Retina
  • Ten Times the risk of Macular Degeneration

Left untreated, Progressive Myopia will get worse, and over time, will result in High Myopia. Patients with High Myopia have an even higher chance of all of these eye disorders.

  • Triple the risk of Glaucoma
  • Five Times the risk of developing Cataracts
  • Twenty One Times the risk of a Detached Retina
  • Twenty One Times the risk of a Detached Retina
  • Forty Times the risk of Macular Degeneration

All of these secondary (and mostly avoidable) severe conditions can lead to blindness in some patients.
