We know that using the traditional method of single vision distance glasses, myopia rates progress throughout childhood/ teenage years. This leads to stronger glasses which are more costly and have thicker lenses which is less cosmetically pleasing.  Research shows increased risk of eye disease for patients with myopia including retinal detachment, myopic macula degeneration, glaucoma and cataract. These risks are apparent even for small levels of myopia and increase with increasing myopia.
