How is myopia diagnosed?

Your child's [eye_doctor] will perform a thorough pediatric [eye_exam] to diagnose myopia, which often includes a visual acuity test, where the [eye_doctor] will use an eye chart made up of letters of varied sizes. If the test results indicate myopia, then the optometrist may shine a light into their eyes and evaluate the reflection off the retina to determine the degree of refractive error for their prescription.

Can myopia lead to blindness?

High myopia may increase your child's risk of developing more serious eye conditions later in life, such as cataracts, retinal detachment and glaucoma. Left untreated, high myopia complications can sometimes lead to blindness—which is why routine [eye_exams] are critical.
