Myopia or nearsightedness has become more prevalent in recent years. Today, more than 40% of Americans are nearsighted, and that number is increasing at an alarming rate, especially among school-age children.

Myopia, especially high myopia in children may contribute to sight-threatening complications later in life, such as retinal detachment, myopic maculopathy, and glaucoma.
