Myopia for Parents
At Golden Vision, we recommend that children get an annual vision screening to test for refractive eye conditions like myopia at an early age. The earlier an optometry team can detect an issue like myopia in your child, the sooner we can sit down and build a personalized myopia control and vision management strategy.
Axial Length Measurement
The average eye axial length is approximately 23.30 mm. Assuming the central corneal power is the same for each eye at normal axial lengths, for every 1 mm of axial length difference you can anticipate a 3.0 D difference in the refractive error.
