About MyopiaProgression.com
We believe every parent deserves access to the same evidence-based information that guides clinical decisions about their child's vision.
Why We Exist
Childhood myopia is increasing at an alarming rate. By 2050, an estimated 50% of the world's population will be myopic—and high myopia significantly increases the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
Yet most parents don't know that myopia progression can be slowed. They don't know about orthokeratology, prescription eye drops, or specialized contact lenses. They don't know that the earlier intervention begins, the better the outcomes.
We created MyopiaProgression.com to change that. Our goal is to translate complex clinical research into clear, actionable guidance that helps parents make informed decisions about their child's eye care.
Our Story
MyopiaProgression.com was founded in the United States by a team of eye doctors who saw a clear gap: the clinical evidence on slowing childhood myopia existed, but parents had no reliable, independent place to find it.
This platform was designed from day one to meet the rigorous editorial standards of the U.S. eye care community — while remaining accessible to families everywhere their children's vision is at risk.
