Lifestyle & Visual Environment Counseling


Daily habits significantly impact myopia progression.
Our team provides guidance on:

  • Healthy outdoor time
  • Limiting prolonged near work
  • Balanced visual habits
  • Reducing digital eye strain
  • Small changes can make a big difference.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
