What Dr. Akshay Shah wants parents to know:
Children rarely complain about blurry vision.
They adjust to it.
In school screenings, we often see children who didn’t realize they weren’t seeing clearly.
Myopia doesn’t correct itself.
But when identified early, its progression can be slowed.
Observation matters.
Routine eye checks matter.
Outdoor time matters.
Prevention isn’t dramatic. It’s consistent.
If it’s been more than a year since your child’s last eye check, consider scheduling one.
