Eye Test for Myopia

What is
your child's age?

Select Age

Rate of Myopia onset is associated with age, with onset at younger age leading to higher risk of developing high Myopia

Is your child already
wearing glasses to
see objects at distance?

Yes No

Yes

When did your child
first get glasses to see
objects at distance?

Select Age

If your child is already wearing glasses, their age may affect how quickly and how much they are at risk of developing progressive Myopia as they age.

Select the parent who
is suffering from Myopia

Parents with myopia may influence onset of myopia in children. Children with both parents being myopic are at greater risk of developing myopia.

How much of
your child's time is spent
on near work outside
of school hours?

Select Hours

The time children spend engaging in reading and other near work is considered to be a potential cause for myopia development.

How much of your
child's time is
spent outdoor?

Select Hours

Research suggests that time spent outdoors may reduce development of Myopia
