Myopia in the modern world is becoming an increasingly urgent medical and social problem due to the steady increase in the number of people with myopia, especially among children. At the same time, the number of children with complicated forms of myopia is significantly increasing.
Timely detection and adequate correction of myopia are necessary measures to curb the progression of the disease, prevent complications and disability. In case of complaints of visual impairment or in case of changes in the child’s behavior (coming close to the TV or squinting), an examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist is recommended. Correction of myopia in order to achieve the highest quality vision is preferable to prevent the progression of the disease. The vitamin and mineral complex SlezaVit® can be used in the complex management of patients with myopia to increase tolerance to visual stress and reduce the symptoms of asthenopia.
