PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Aug 5 (Bernama-PRNewswire) — VISTA Eye Specialist (VISTA) is one of the first among eyecare professionals in Malaysia to adopt an all-in-one diagnostic tool – the MYAH by Topcon, that offers the essential tools for shortsightedness (myopia) management and also as an evolving platform for dry eye management in children.
“Myopia is a growing health issue in Asia among school children – with rates showing 80% to 90% of East Asian[1] young adults having myopia,” stresses Dr Mandy Cheong Moon Yee, Consultant Ophthalmologist at VISTA. “Many parents don’t realize the impact of shortsightedness is not limited to just glasses, but it exponentially increases the risks of eye diseases – such as glaucoma and retinal detachment.” The MYAH includes a reporting system that tracks myopia progression over time and analyses the data for the effectiveness of the treatment which allows the doctor to better manage the child’s myopia situation.
