Myopia (nearsightedness) often worsens as kids grow — and it’s not just about genetics.
Increased screen time, long hours of close-up work, and less time outdoors all play a role in how quickly myopia can progress. When it starts early, the eyes have more time to change.
That’s why regular eye exams and early monitoring matter — even if your child seems “fine” right now.
If you’ve noticed squinting, sitting closer to screens, or trouble seeing far away, it may be time for an exam.
