👁️ Myopia (nearsightedness) usually starts between ages 6–14 and can progress over time, often without obvious symptoms early on.
✔ What helps manage myopia progression:
🌳 2+ hours of outdoor time daily
📏 20-20-20 rule during screen use
👁️ Myopia control options like low-dose atropine or specialty contact lenses
Early care = better long-term vision outcomes.
