What Is Myopia?

Myopia is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry, while close-up vision remains clear. It often begins in childhood and tends to worsen quickly during school-age years.
Without early intervention, high myopia can significantly increase the risk of:

• Retinal detachment

• Glaucoma

• Cataracts

• Permanent vision loss

Signs Your Child May Have Myopia:

• Squinting to see the whiteboard at school
  

• Sitting too close to the TV or digital screens
  

• Holding books or tablets very close to the face
  

• Frequent headaches or eye strain
  

• Changing glasses prescriptions every year
  
  

If your child is showing any of these signs, it's time to schedule a pediatric eye exam.
