💡UNDERSTANDING PROGRESSIVE MYOPIA💡

🧐 Parents - does your child often need stronger glasses to see better in the long distance - every year?

This can be known as progressive myopia, and it’s more than a mild inconvenience….

Myopia (short-sightedness) that progresses unchecked can lead to serious eye health complications later in life, such as:

‼️Retinal detachment
‼️Cataracts
‼️Glaucoma …. Or … Even …
‼️🚨Vision loss / Blindness 🚨

✅ But there is GOOD news:

💡Modern myopia treatments can slow or even stabilise this progression…..

👁️ Options like low-dose atropine eye drops, special glasses, specialised soft contact lenses or orthokeratology lenses (Ortho-K) are clinically proven to help protect your child’s long-term vision.

🔑 Don’t wait until the prescription jumps again - early action is key!

For more information, speak to your regular eye health professional and also follow the link below, where you’ll find an excellent article on our website www.mykidsvision.org that delves deeper into this!

SCREEN TIME. Part 1.

Sorry to be party poopers.. but really, while you have absolute control of your baby or toddler’s life, and they are not subject to peer pressure yet, don’t make iPads, tabs or phones a part of their life. So many things fascinate them, let them enjoy the simple beauty and discoveries in life .That means parents have to put away that phone during play and dinner time too , unfortunately. Monkey see , monkey do 🙊
