Axial Length and Its Role in Myopia Management
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.
The Importance of Monitoring Axial Length
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.
