The pandemic has not only harmed our children’s physical health, but their eye health as well. What can parents do? Ensuring adequate outdoor activity and having customised correction from a myopia specialist will make a dramatic impact in slowing myopia progression and lowering the projected rate of myopia in Singapore’s future adults.

Parents can also work hand in hand with professionals like the Myopia Specialist Centre, where the latest research-backed programmes provide specialised myopia management.

Optometrists are diagnosing higher numbers of children with short-sightedness since the start of the pandemic.

Outdoor activity is a major factor in controlling myopia progression. Sunlight increases the dopamine levels, which helps to slow down myopia progression and/or preventing myopia in children.
