Did you know there is a number that can help predict whether your child's eyesight is likely to keep getting worse?
It's called axial length.
Axial length measures the front-to-back length of the eye. As the eye grows longer, nearsightedness (myopia) typically progresses.
Many parents focus only on their child's glasses prescription. While prescription changes are important, they don't tell the whole story.
Axial length allows us to monitor the actual growth of the eye, helping us determine:
โข Whether myopia is progressing
โข Whether treatment is working
โข If adjustments to the treatment plan are needed
This is why axial length measurements are an important part of myopia management at Richmond Eye Experts.
Our goal is not just to help your child see clearly today. Our goal is to help protect their vision for the future.
If your child's prescription changes every year, ask whether axial length monitoring should be part of their eye care.
