There are currently effective treatments to prevent worsening myopia in childhood, while the eye is still growing. It is thought that such treatments, by reducing the severity of myopia, should also reduce the risk of developing the complications of high myopia.

This is an area of ongoing research, to develop and test treatments to prevent the development and worsening of myopic maculopathy.
