MYOPIA
WHAT IS MYOPIA?
Myopia, also referred to as short-sightedness, is an eye ailment. People with myopia see distant objects as fuzzy. In the UK, myopia affects 1 in 3 people.
Although myopia can occur at any age, it usually begins to manifest in children between the ages of 6 and 13 and worsens as the eyeball develops. A child has a 50% probability of becoming short-sighted if both of their parents are.

CHILDREN
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CHILD IS MYOPIC
Children frequently do not realise that there are a few important things to watch out for and that their eyesight isn't flawless. In addition to sitting too close to the TV, having trouble seeing the whiteboard at school, and complaining of headaches or eye discomfort, your child may also often rub and blink their eyes.
Regular check-ups with your optometrist are crucial because in some cases there are no symptoms. No later than age 3 or 4, we advise parents to bring their children in for eye exams.
