For Doctors

Many eye doctor’s are starting to recognize the critical importance of myopia control, joining Treehouse Eyes in the battle to fight the epidemic with treating and controlling myopia, not just correcting for nearsightedness in our young patients’ eyes. In this Resource Center area we assemble technical papers and other health-care professional oriented materials to provide doctor’s with as much up-do-date knowledge as we can.
