How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the patient's Current Age in years.
- Enter the Current Prescription as a negative diopter value (e.g., −2.00 D for −2.00 sphere).
- Enter the Age of Onset — the age when myopia was first diagnosed (earlier onset usually means more total progression).
- Enter the Annual Progression Rate in diopters per year — typically −0.25 to −0.75 D/year for children.
- Review the 5-Year and 10-Year Predictions and Adult Prediction (at approximately age 20) to guide myopia management decisions.
