Adnkronos Finding out that a child is three, four, or five diopters shortsighted at the first visit is truly a failure of the entire system because the sooner glasses are prescribed, the sooner the child sees better and can properly develop their visual abilities. Today, we also have specific lenses that can reduce or slow the progression of myopia.
Therefore, the sooner lenses are prescribed, the better.” These are the words of Teresio Avitabile, professor of Ophthalmology and director of the ophthalmology clinic at the University of Catania; president of SISO – the Italian Society of Ophthalmological Sciences, during the press conference 'Stop myopia: when innovation changes the visual future of young people', promoted by Hoya Vision Care in Milan, during which the results of a survey conducted by AstraRicerche on the knowledge and attitudes of Italian parents towards myopia were presented, along with new clinical evidence relating to Miyosmart iQ, innovative lenses for the control of myopia progression.
