Why don’t glasses work?
Traditional glasses correct the vision, but they don’t fundamentally slow down the progression of Myopia. With new glasses, the vision is clear, but the retina inside continues to stretch like a balloon filling with air making the stretched layer breakable.

It’s because the medical community has just started learning of this dangerous phenomenon. The iPhone is only 16 years old. Lockdown and COVID stay at home rules have also massively worsened our children’s vision due to increased device use.
Why has no other doctor mentioned this before?
