  Due to the rise of Myopia in the world, Myopia control treatments become famous among eye care practitioners as days go. Myopia is expected to affect half of the world population by 2050 if actions won’t be taken, among the environmental factors which contribute to the growth of the Myopia epidemic is urbanization of cities of which developing countries are not behind, but when it comes to the issue of myopia control most of countries which research and practice the myopia control treatments are developed nations and this has to do with the fact that in developing nations there are poor resources in eye care practitioner’s offices to treat and monitor myopia so the mainstay treatment has remained to be single vision glasses even for kids with progressive myopia although research has documented again and again on how ineffective they’re when it comes to reducing the rate of myopia progression.
