Myopia Management: Options for Slowing Down Progression
Myopia (nearsightedness) is a common vision problem where distant objects appear blurry. If left unmanaged, myopia can worsen over time, increasing the risk of serious eye conditions like retinal detachment and glaucoma. At LJ Eye Institute, Patiala, advanced myopia management solutions help slow its progression and protect long-term vision.

Prescription Eyeglasses
