We see a world where myopia is controlled earlier, more easily, and more effectively.
Our eyesight is vital to learning and negotiating the world around us, and has a large impact on our potential to live full and productive lives. Myopia, also known as short-sightedness) is the most common eye disorder in the world. By 2050, it is estimated that myopia will affect one in two people.
When childhood myopia is diagnosed, it is vital to slow its progression early on. The sooner it is controlled, the better a child’s chances of maintaining long-term sight and quality of life into adulthood. However, current myopia treatments (e.g. eye drops, contact lenses) are not always viable for young children.
When childhood myopia is diagnosed, it is vital to slow its progression early on. The sooner it is controlled, the better a child’s chances of maintaining long-term sight and quality of life into adulthood. However, current myopia treatments are often invasive (e.g. eye drops, contact lenses) and are not always viable for young children.
At Eyerising International, we see a world where childhood myopia is controlled earlier, more easily and more effectively. We’re working to address the global myopia epidemic by bringing our clinically proven repeated low-level red-light therapy to the next generation at home. Saving sight sooner makes for a brighter future for all of us.
