Myopia (short-sightedness) in kids is becoming more common, but the good news is, there’s a lot we can do 👁️
Changes in screen time, less outdoor play, and earlier onset are all contributing to more children needing support with their vision. Often, kids don’t realise anything is wrong, they simply adapt to blurry distance vision.
That’s why regular eye checks are so important. Early detection gives us the best chance to monitor and manage myopia before it progresses.
At Fitzgerald Optometry, we provide:
✔ Thorough children’s eye examinations
✔ Ongoing myopia monitoring
✔ Tailored myopia control options
Every child is different, so every plan is personalised.
If you’ve noticed squinting, sitting close to screens, headaches, or struggling to see the board it might be time for an eye health check.
