MEASURES TO CONTROL THE PROGRESSION OF NEAR SIGHTEDNESS

Abstract

Myopia (near sightedness) is a most common refractive error which causes blurred vision for distant objects. slowing the progression of myopia has considerable concern for myopic patients. clinical science is rapidly advancing the knowledge about methods to slow down the progression of myopia. Measures that are explored to slow down the progression of myopia include bifocal spectacles, cycloplegic drops, intraocular pressure lowering drugs, contact lenses. the purpose of this review is to find the systemic effective strategies to the progression of myopia.
