👓 MYOPIA MYTHS: Let’s bust a few!
When it comes to kids and nearsightedness, there’s a LOT of outdated information out there.
❌ “Wearing glasses will make their eyes worse.” ❌ “Maybe we should under-correct their prescription.” ❌ “They’re just nearsighted—there’s nothing we can do about it.”
The truth? Myopia is more than just blurry distance vision. As a child grows, their eyes can continue to grow too—and increasing myopia is associated with greater risks to their eye health later in life.
The good news is that today we have options designed to slow the progression of myopia, including specialized contact lenses and other myopia-management treatments. 👁️✨
If your child’s prescription seems to be getting stronger every year, it may be time to think beyond simply updating their glasses.
