Could your child be short-sighted? 👀
Myopia is a common childhood eye condition that causes blurry distance vision and can worsen over time if left unmanaged.
Watch for the signs:
• Sitting closer to the TV
• Squinting or tired eyes
• Headaches
• Poor distance vision
• Reduced performance at school
Family history matters:
• 1 in 2 children develop myopia if both parents are short-sighted
• 1 in 3 if one parent is short-sighted
• 1 in 4 even with no family history
👶 Early detection makes a difference.
Regular eye examinations can help identify myopia early, potentially slowing its progression and reducing long-term eye health risks.
📅 Book your child’s eye exam today and give their vision the best start.
