Children have been particularly affected by the rise in myopia—and scientists think there may be a surprising connection with how little time they are spending outside.

Rates of nearsightedness, or myopia, are skyrocketing in kids—and scientists say it has to do with how little time they’re spending outdoors. Here’s why it’s so good for your vision.

21/05/2026

The number of children who need eyeglasses to see far away objects—a condition known as myopia—is increasing and current projections suggest that by 2050, 50 percent of the world’s population will be affected.

Make sure to bring your child for an eye exam. A comprehensive eye and vision exam will let you know if interventions are needed to help slow down vision changes.

As scientists try to untangle the reasons for skyrocketing rates of nearsightedness in kids, new treatment options can help prevent their vision from getting worse.

Slowing myopia, not just correcting it✨

Essilor Stellest lenses are designed to combat both parts of childhood myopia – blurred vision, and rapid eye growth, which is what causes myopia to deteriorate. Stellest lenses emerged in 2018, and are now one of the most popular lenses for myopia management worldwide.

Monitor your kids screen time.

Studies show that long hours on digital devices, paired with less outdoor play, speed up vision problems. Protect young eyes by balancing screen use with time outside.

High myopia comes with higher risks ⚠️

High myopia is more than stronger glasses. It’s linked to structural changes in the eye that raise the risk of glaucoma, cataract, and retinal or macular problems later in life. For example, every extra -1D of myopia increases the risk of glaucoma by about 20%. Regular eye health checks and slowing myopia are key to early detection and prevention. 👁️‍🗨️

Understanding high myopia 👓️

Swipe → to learn why higher prescriptions matter.

High myopia occurs when the eye grows too long. This stretching can increase the risk of future eye problems such as glaucoma, cataract, or retinal changes. Globally, myopia is becoming a bigger problem. By 2050, it is estimated half the world's population will have myopia, and around 1 in 10 will develop high myopia.

What is a cycloplegic refraction? 🤔❓

A cycloplegic refraction utilizes the same steps as a standard refraction, but uses a specific eye drop 🧿 that relaxes the eye muscles 👀responsible for focusing.

These eye drops will prevent the child from over-focusing during their refraction and enable the eye doctor to evaluate the true nature of your child’s vision, without concern that subconscious over-focusing could produce inaccurate results.

In a report entitled, The Impact of Myopia and High Myopia (2015), in coordination with the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, the World Health Organization (WHO) noted that measurements of refractive error were significantly more accurate when cycloplegic drops were used during refraction.

Pls visit the clinic for your child's eye exam.

⁉️CAN MYOPIA BE CURED? Let’s Clear Things Up! 👓❌

✅ TIP: Myopia is a condition also known as short-sightedness: it is when things in the distance look blurry, such as the board at school or looking at a friend across the park 🌳

👁 Myopia happens when the eye grows too long, making those distant objects look blurry. This change is permanent, but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless!

💡 What CAN you do? The key is SLOWING down myopia progression (how quickly it gets worse) EARLY to keep your child’s eyes healthier for life! 🔑 🐢
