Myopia is the inability to see at a distance
Dr. Randy Schulman and the team of EyeCare Associates are currently conducting research in myopia control for adults and children out of their office locations in Southport, Norwalk and Trumbull. They are seeking study participants in Fairfield County who are interested in the scientifically based, non-intrusive approach the team is using in the quest to slow, stop or reverse myopia in children and adults.
Myopia, also known as near-sightedness, is the inability to see far, and it impacts about 1 in 3 people on the planet today. However, that number is forecasted to grow to 1 in 2 by 2050. Not only is prevalence growing, but onset is beginning at a younger age—exposing kids and future generations to an increased risk for sight threatening complications associated with a myopia diagnosis. It is a real health crisis which was exasperated during the COVID-19 pandemic with heavy time on screens and indoors.
The treatment approach is informed by a growing body of research in visual neuroscience on the role of ON visual pathways in human vision and the impact of weak ON visual pathways in myopic individuals.
The study length is 24 months and includes 16 weeks of vision therapy and a handful of monitoring visits. Qualified participants who enroll will receive study-related treatment, tests and assessments at no cost.
