Spot the Signs: Is Myopia Lurking?
Are blurry vision and squinting becoming a part of your daily routine? What are some signs to look out for to understand the condition of your eye? Read on to find out more!
The axial length of the eye is the longitudinal distance from the front surface of cornea to the back curve of the eye underlying the retina. To measure the length of an eye ball, an Axial Length Measuring machine, an Axial Length Biometer, will be used.
A biometer is a specialized device used to measure the length of your eye ball quickly and accurately. It’s an essential tool to determine the effective-ness of myopia management options that the child is using. It even helps to predict the risk of myopia development for individuals who have yet to wear glasses.
How Long Does the Eye Examination Take?
The examination is usually completed within a few minutes, making it a swift and painless process. However, it is recommended to administer the test to children aged 5 years and older. Younger children may not yield reliable results if they are unable to follow the instructions during the eye examination.
