Thank you for taking the myopia assessment quiz!
Based on this assessment, the child’s likelihood of developing myopia is:What’s next:Measuring and monitoring children's eye health, even from an early age, is highly recommended. For every diopter a child’s myopia can be reduced, their chance of developing myopic macular degeneration (a retinal disease) may be decreased by 40%.7 To have the biggest impact on managing your child’s myopia, it is important to act early.
