Axial length refers to the distance from the front to the back of the eye. It's a crucial measurement in understanding and managing myopia (nearsightedness), as an increase in axial length is directly associated with the progression of myopia.
Regularly measuring axial length helps us track the progression of myopia in young patients. By plotting these measurements over time, we can clearly see how quickly myopia is advancing. This is essential for evaluating the risk of developing high levels of myopia, associated with an increased risk of future eye disease and vision loss.
If you're concerned about your child's vision and how quickly their prescription is worsening, scheduling a consultation is the first step. Our tailored management programs aim to slow the progression of myopia and help avoid future vision issues.
