Your child's prescription isn't just a number. It's a trajectory. 📈
A child who gets -1.00 glasses at age 7 can be heading for -5.00 or worse by 16, because young eyes grow fast. And it's not just thicker glasses: a longer eye means higher lifetime risk of serious eye problems.
The good news: myopia control can slow that climb by about half, and the earlier we start, the more we save.
So don't just ask how strong the glasses are. Ask where the number is heading.
