Waldwick-based A2Z Eyecare (201-559-3977) announces its team now offers the latest myopia control approaches for children in surrounding areas, including Park Ridge, Saddle River, Mahwah, Ramsey, and Allendale.
-- As the extensive use of devices leads to increasing rates of myopia, especially among children and young adults, Waldwick-based A2Z Eyecare announces the latest myopia control approaches, aimed at slowing or stopping the progression of the condition. The center works with patients from across the region, including Park Ridge, Saddle River, Ramsey, and Allendale.

Dr. Victoria Kravchenko, head optometrist at A2Z Eyecare, explains that myopia control can involve several treatments, such as corneal refractive therapy, atropine drops, multifocal contact lenses, or multifocal eyeglasses. She points out that the first step in addressing the rising rates of myopia is to ensure that children are diagnosed at the earliest possible stage, something that can be achieved through regular eye exams.
This focus on early detection is increasingly important in light of alarming global trends: a 2016 Ophthalmology study forecast that almost half the world will be myopic by 2050, with severe cases quadrupling. In the US, rates among teenagers rose from 25% in 1972 to over 40% by 2004, highlighting a growing public health concern.
As Dr. Kravchenko highlights, if left untreated, myopia can lead to several much more serious conditions, such as retinal damage, macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and worsening vision. For that reason, A2Z Eyecare seeks to ensure that local parents have access to the latest diagnosis and treatment options.
“While nearsightedness or myopia for many has been corrected through glasses or contact lenses, a modern concept has developed called Myopia Control,” Dr. Kravchenko explains. “With the alarming increases in myopia in recent decades, the latest control methods are oriented to slow down or even stop its progression.”
