NEARSIGHTEDNESS is increasing worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, over 30% of the global population is currently myopic (nearsighted) and 50% of the world’s population is estimated to become myopic by 2050.
As an individual’s myopia increases, so does their risk of complications, visual impairment and decreased quality of life. Parents taking action to limit the progression of MYOPIA in our children, can improve their overall long term health and well being.
Myopia Management strategies can include simple lifestyle modifications, the use of daily eyedrops and/or the use of daily contact lenses specifically designed to correct vision and limit the progression of nearsightedness.
Schedule an appointment at Pediatric Optometry & Vision Care to learn more and assess your child’s risk for myopia and progression. Email questions to info@pvceyes.com.
