Here is an article by our optometrist, SooJin Nam on how to manage more complex myopia cases. These include:

🎢Progressing young myopes with binocular dysfunction

Our optometrists at Hillsdale study hard to stay up to date with the latest clinical information on managing patients with myopia!

June is Cataract Awareness Month

Cataracts are often linked to aging, but the risk can start much earlier.

Unmanaged high myopia in childhood increases the risk of developing cataracts later in life due to the structural changes in the eye that high myopia causes, which can contribute to the development of cataracts over time.

Our optometrists have a special interest in myopia management and provide evidence-based treatment options to help slow down myopia progression in children.
