Nearsightedness in Adolescents

Myopia is often referred to as nearsightedness. Its primary symptom is blurry distance vision. Myopia occurs when the eye is longer than it should be. This is concerning as it often gets worse in growing children. There are significant eye health and quality of life implications with every diopter of worsening myopia.

Myopia Management

To help address the lifestyle factors that may influence myopia, it’s recommended that your child get eye exams at the appropriate age, spend at least 2 hours outdoors per day, and take frequent breaks from reading and screen time. If myopia develops, eye care professionals can prescribe myopia control treatment for your age-appropriate child to help reduce the rate of the progression.
