Can You Prevent or Slow Nearsightedness in Kids? 👦👁️

Yes, especially if you start early. Myopia (nearsightedness) is becoming more common, but there are ways to slow it down:

🌳 Outdoor time matters – More time outside can help reduce the risk.
💧 Low-dose atropine drops – Shown to slow myopia in 80% of children.
👁️ Speciality contact lenses – Some lenses are designed to slow eye growth.
👀 Ortho-K lenses – Hard lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea temporarily.

These treatments can help protect your child's sight—especially if myopia runs in the family.

How Much Vision Loss Is Too Much for Driving? 🚗

Researchers found that visual field loss, especially in both eyes or in specific areas, significantly increases the risk of car accidents in older drivers.

Key findings:
🔹 Visual field loss in both eyes = 84% higher crash risk
🔹 Severe loss in any area = increased accident odds
🔹 Central vision loss alone wasn’t linked to higher crash rates

👁️ Routine eye exams can detect these silent changes.

If you're over 50 and drive regularly, make sure your peripheral vision is part of your check-up.

📅 Book an eye exam with Dr. Steve Steyn and stay road-ready.
